1 tablespoon bottled minced garlic |
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper |
1/3 cup dry white wine |
1 (8-ounce) bottle clam juice |
2 dozen littleneck clams, scrubbed |
1 tablespoon butter |
4 teaspoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain and keep warm.
