  1. Put the water for the spaghetti on to boil. Rinse the clams in several changes of cold water. Discard any that are open or damaged. Cover the tomatoes with boiling water, leave for 1 min, then drain and slip off the skins, Remove the seeds and chop the flesh.
  2. Cook spaghetti according to pack instructions. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pan, add the garlic and chilli, then fry gently for a few seconds. Stir in the tomatoes, then add the clams and a splash of wine, salt and pepper and bring to the boil. Cover the pan and cook for 3-4 mins, until the clams are open. Drain the pasta, then tip into the pan with the parsley and toss together. Serve in bowls with bread for mopping up the juices.

    I made this for my husband and some friends a few nights ago and they all raved about it. I doubled the quantities (trebled the amount of spaghetti) and the only extra thing I added was a bit of dill along with the parsley. It is a perfect summer evening meal and I will definitely make it again. I never rate anything as five star but this is 99.9% so as close as can be!

    This is by far the best recipe....it was so delicious. To add a personal touch and honestly to break down that heat that burst in the plate because of the chili quantity I chopped in; I added a dash of fresh cream.... Amazingly good! It is the best hot starter for any romantic dinner!
