This quick and easy dish relies heavily on fresh ingredients and good quality extra virgin olive oil to produce an amazing dish.

220 gm spaghetti 120 ml extra-virgin olive oil 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped 60 gm vongole (cockles), soaked in cold water 120 ml dry white wine 2 tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley 1 fresh long red chilli, seeded and finely chopped (optional)

Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to the boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente. Remove from heat Add a splash of oil and the garlic (and chilli) to a cold frying pan. Turn to medium-low heat and let cook for a few minutes. Once the garlic is soft, add the vongole. Raise heat to medium-high and pour in the white wine. Cook for about a minute so that the alcohol starts to evaporate, then cover. Uncover when all the vongole just open and discard any that do not open. Transfer the spaghetti to the pan with the clam sauce and toss to coat. Add the remaining olive oil and parsley and season to taste with freshly ground pepper and sea salt, toss well.

Divide among shallow bowls and serve immediately. Enjoy!

For a richer sauce, toss through a tbsp of unsalted butter at the end and if needed, add a little pasta water to thin the sauce.
