To serve 4 as a first course, you'll need:
- 2 1/4 pounds (1 k) live clams
- Sea salt (or Kosher salt) sufficient to salt the purging water
- A handful of parsley and a clove of garlic, minced
- 1 pound (450 g) spaghetti
- 1/2 cup olive oil (you could also use 1/4 cup each oil and unsalted butter)
- Salt, pepper, and hot pepper to taste. A dash of oregano might be nice, but I didn't add it this time
- No Cheese -- Italians generally don't serve cheese with fish sauces
Enjoy!
