To make baby clams pasta at home, you will need the following ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Begin by cooking the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, following the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.

3. Carefully add the white wine, lemon juice, reserved clam juice, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the liquid has reduced slightly.

4. Add the drained baby clams to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the clams are heated through.

5. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss well to coat the pasta in the sauce. Cook for an additional minute, allowing the pasta to absorb some of the sauce.

6. Season the pasta with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped parsley.

7. Divide the pasta among serving plates and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
