- 80 g Lupin pasta
- 300 g Clams
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 Chili
- 12 g Parsley
- 1 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ Lemon (optional)
Method
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Salt it lightly — clams carry their own salt and the liquor will season the dish.
- Scrub the clams and discard any that stay open when tapped. Slice the garlic, ring the chilli and chop the parsley.
- Warm the olive oil with the garlic and chilli until the garlic is pale gold, then tip in the clams, cover and give them three minutes over a high flame until they open. Throw away any that stay shut.
- Cook the lupin pasta in the boiling water for six minutes, tasting early. Drain, saving a ladleful of the water.
- Toss the pasta into the clam pan with a splash of the water and swirl it hard so the liquor thickens against the starch, then fold in the parsley and squeeze over the lemon.
