Method

Scrub the clams in cold water and soak in fresh water for 20 minutes to remove sand.

Boil water with salt and blanch the tomato for 30 seconds to peel the skin.

Cook the spaghetti in the boiling water for 10 minutes until al dente.

Rinse the soaked clams in a colander and set aside.

Sauté the garlic, shallot, and chilli in oil then add diced tomato flesh.

Add wine and clams to the pan and steam under a lid for three minutes.

Cook for one more minute until all clams open and discard any closed ones.

Toss the drained pasta with the clam mixture and parsley before serving.
