How to Make Spaghetti With Clam Sauce
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the spaghetti.
- While water is heating, heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Add minced garlic and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.
- Add sliced mushrooms and both cans of clams (including their juice) to the saucepan.
- Increase heat to high.
- Stir in red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, oregano, white wine, and lemon juice.
- Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced by about three-quarters and has thickened, approximately 10-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
- Add the drained spaghetti to the empty pot and toss with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Remove the clam sauce from the heat.
- Stir in black pepper and fresh parsley.
- Add half of the clam sauce to the spaghetti and toss to coat. Add a little pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
- Serve the spaghetti immediately, topping each serving with the remaining clam sauce.
