Ingredients
- 400 g spaghetti
- 100 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves purple garlic, minced
- 30-40 fresh clams, purged and scrubbed
- 200 ml glass of Riesling
- handful parsley, chopped roughly
Instructions
Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until al dente.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frypan with a tight fitting lid over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute or just until beginning to colour. Add the clams and wine, cover and cook, shaking the pan for 4 minutes or just until the clams open.
Drain the pasta of almost all the water. Return the pasta to the pan, then add the clams and oil (add a bit more oil if the pasta soaks it all up). Stir through the chopped parsley and serve immediately.
