- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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.

Recipe from Good Food magazine, January 2005.
'A good, versatile midweek family meal. It was a great change from having a meat-based pasta dish. One of those meals you see on menus, but never make yourself.'
