How to Make Simple Clam Sauce
- Rinse clams thoroughly and drain in a colander. Reserve the liquid.
- Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- Add diced tomatoes (undrained), parsley, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
- Add white wine and cook for 30 seconds, allowing the alcohol to evaporate slightly.
- Add the reserved clam liquid and cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss gently to coat.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and the liquid is almost evaporated, stirring frequently.
- Gently stir in the clams and fresh basil.
- Serve immediately. Garnish with extra parsley or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, if desired.
