Steps:

• Combine all fresh herbs on a cutting board, and mince. You will need a very sharp knife to do this right.
• Fill a large pot with water, and add salt to taste. Bring to a boil.
• In a medium saucepan, add oil, and heat over medium heat until oil is hot.
• Drain the canned clams.
• Add clams and minced garlic to oil, and saute until clams are hot (about two minutes), stirring frequently.
• While clam and garlic mixture is heating, put the angel hair pasta in the boiling water. Cook according to the directions on the box.
• Continue stirring the clam and garlic mixture, being careful to not let the garlic burn.
• Add chopped herbs to the clam/garlic mixture, and saute for another two minutes. Remove from heat.
• When pasta is done to "al dente", remove from heat and drain water.
• Put pasta into a large bowl, and add clam/garlic/herb mixture. Mix well to prevent the pasta from sticking. Serve immediately.
• Optionally, you can add sliced or chopped fresh onion to the sauce. Also, you can substitute (or add in addition to) shrimp, chicken, scallops, crab meat, oysters, squid, etc, for the clams. It can also be topped with grated Parmesan or Romano cheese, though traditionally, it is not.
• This sauce is highly flexible, and can be modified in any number of ways. I always recommend using angel hair pasta though, as it soaks up the flavors better than any other type of pasta.

ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH CLAMS, RADISHES, AND SPINACH

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Stir pasta into boiling water and cook, stirring often to keep strands separated, for about 2 minutes, or until tender but still firm to the bite. Scoop out and re­serve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water. Drain the pasta.
• Meanwhile, heat a large heavy skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then add clams and cook for 1 minute. Stir in shallots, garlic, lemon zest, bay leaf, and red pepper flakes. Add wine, cover, and cook for about 2 minutes, or until clams open. Using tongs, transfer clams to a large bowl, then cover to keep warm.
• Simmer clam-wine broth until it is reduced by about one-fourth, about 2 minutes (pasta will absorb a lot of liquid, so don't reduce liquid too much). Stir in remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low.
• Add pasta to skillet and toss to coat with liquid. Add clams and any accumulated juices in bowl to pasta. Add spinach and half of radishes and toss, adding enough of reserved pasta water to make a light sauce.
• Using tongs, divide pasta and clams among four wide pasta bowls or place them in one large shallow serving bowl. Pour in broth. Drizzle olive oil over each serving and sprinkle with scallions and remaining rad­ishes. Discard lemon zest and bay leaf and serve immediately.

Steps:

• For the toasted breadcrumbs: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the baguette into large cubes. Add to a food processor and pulse until processed into crumbs. Spread the crumbs out on a baking sheet and toss with some olive oil, salt and pepper. Transfer to the oven and toast until golden brown, stirring as needed to evenly brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
• For the clams: Add the clams, 2 tablespoons of the chopped Calabrian chiles, garlic, onion, two of the thyme sprigs, white wine, 1 cup water and some kosher salt to a saucepan. Cover with a lid, bring to a boil, and cook just until the clams open, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the clams from the broth with tongs and allow to cool. Reserve the clam broth. Discard any clams that haven't opened. Once the clams have cooled, remove from shells and chop. Set aside.
• For the sauce: To a large high-sided saute pan, add the butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil and allow the butter to melt. Once melted, add the remaining 2 tablespoons chopped Calabrian chilies and the remaining 2 thyme sprigs, along with a ladleful or two of the clam broth. Bring to a boil. Add a touch of cream and the chopped clams, stirring until just combined. Remove the thyme sprigs. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, along with more broth if needed, and toss.
• Serve in a bowl, garnished with chopped parsley and toasted breadcrumbs.
