How to Make Spinach And Baby Clam Sauce

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.
  2. While the water heats, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds), being careful not to burn it.
  3. Add the baby clams to the skillet and cook until they open, about 5-7 minutes. Discard any clams that do not open.
  4. Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the wine to reduce slightly.
  5. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  6. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  7. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley (if using).
