Method

step 1

Firstly, cook the pasta. Boil the kettle, then three-quarters fill a large pan with boiling water. Add some salt – the water will seethe – then coil in the spaghetti. Simmer, uncovered, for 12 mins or according to pack instructions.
step 2

Meanwhile, to make the sauce, tip the clam sauce into a small pan, pour in the wine and add the garlic. Simmer for a few mins while you coarsely chop the parsley, then stir into the sauce and grind in a good amount of black pepper.
step 3

Drain the spaghetti and tip into a warmed bowl. Pour in the sauce and toss well. Serve at once, with grated parmesan scattered over if you like.

RECIPE TIPS

GIVE IT A TWIST

Use any other long pasta instead of spaghetti – tagliatelle and linguine are both good. If you have basil handy, throw in a handful of roughly chopped leaves before serving.
