- Add garlic and brown lightly.
- Add hot pepper and parsley, and simmer for 2 minutes or so.
- 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.)
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta.
- Remove when al dente.Drain.
- Add to the pan with the sauce and toss well.
- Serve.
