Directions

  1. Bring water to a boil in a stockpot, add salt. Reduce heat to a simmer.

  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil, followed by chile pepper and garlic. Cook and stir gently until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove garlic and chile pepper, discard. Add clams to the fragrant oil.

  3. Pour wine over the clams and cover immediately. Let simmer until clams have opened, about 7 minutes. Remove clams using a slotted spoon to a large bowl. Cover to avoid losing their steam. Discard any unopened clams.

  4. Pour four ladles of salted water into the skillet with the juice of the clams. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add spaghetti, move around with a pasta fork to keep from sticking together. Cook, adding a ladle or two of salted water as needed to keep spaghetti barely covered, until pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Add clams and sprinkle in lemon zest. Give the skillet a hefty toss to gently mix the clams in the thickened sauce.

  5. Divide into four pasta bowls. Cover with parsley and serve immediately with empty plates on the side for the shells while eating.
