Ingredients

• 12 ounces gluten-free spaghetti
• 2 pounds fresh clams
• 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 lemon, sliced into wedges
• 1 tablespoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the clams under cold water and scrub to remove any dirt or debris. Discard any clams with broken shells or those that don't close when tapped.

Step 2

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.

Step 3

While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.

Step 4

Add the red pepper flakes to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the clams to the skillet. Pour in the white wine and cover the skillet. Steam the clams for 5-7 minutes or until the shells have opened. Discard any clams that do not open.

Step 6

Season with freshly ground black pepper and stir to combine. If desired, adjust seasoning with additional salt, though the clams usually add enough natural saltiness.

Step 7

Add the cooked gluten-free spaghetti directly to the skillet with the clams. Toss gently to coat the pasta with the sauce.

Step 8

Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and give a final toss to combine all the ingredients well.

Step 9

Serve the pasta immediately, garnished with lemon wedges for squeezing over. Enjoy your Gluten-Free Pasta Vongole!
