1 to 2 dried red chillies, crumbled
750g clams
2 glasses (10 ounces) of white wine
1 handful of parsley leaves, roughly chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Cook linguine in salted boiling water until ‘al dente’. Meanwhile, get a pan hot and add a 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the pancetta. Fry until golden, then add garlic and chillies. Soften them slightly and add the clams. Stir, then add white wine. Put a lid on the pan and cook for a further couple of minutes until all the clams have opened – discard any that remain closed. Remove from the heat and add the drained linguine. Stir in parsley and serve with the cooking juices.
