Speedy spaghetti with clams
- Preparation and cooking time
- Total time
- Ready in 15-20 minutes
- Easy
- Serves 2
Ingredients
- 175g spaghetti
- 2 x 130g jars clams in tomato sauce
- splash of wine, whatever you have
- 1 garlic clove, finely crushed
- handful parsley
- freshly grated parmesan, to serve (optional)
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.
