  1. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a pan large enough to eventually also accommodate the pasta.
  2. Add garlic and brown lightly.
  3. Add hot pepper and parsley, and simmer for 2 minutes or so.
  4. Add clams along with 2/3 of the clam juice and simmer over medium-low heat for about 4 minutes until liquid has been reduce a by a 1/3 or so. (If you prefer a wetter sauce, reduce less.)
  5. Meanwhile, cook the pasta.
  6. Remove when al dente.Drain.
  7. Add to the pan with the sauce and toss well.
  8. Serve.

Great with a tomato salad.
