ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH WHITE CLAM SAUCE
This one is a family tradition. I practically grew up on it. My father, grandmother, and several great-aunts made their own variations of it. Regardless of the variation, it was always delicious. This is my own variation on the recipe, originally learned from my father. It goes great with an appetizer of Traditional Caprese Salad, a side of a fresh garden salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing, and with a dessert of Italian Orange Slices. This makes for a hearty Italian dinner, that is also health conscious - though I highly recommend a walk afterwords to kick-start the metabolism and burn the carbs. (All referenced recipes/appetizers/desserts can be found in my public recipes list.) Note: as various brands of angel hair pasta recommend different cooking times, you may want to adjust when you put the pasta in to cook. Typically, dried angel hair pasta is cooked to "al dente" (tender, but firm) within 3-5 minutes.

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
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.
ANGEL HAIR WITH CLAMS
I have looked through a lot a clam recipies. I finally came up with this recipe by combining the most frequent ingredients I saw listed with a couple of my own additions. The end result is a sauce so light it can't really be called a sauce. But it is so incredibly flavorful!

Steps:
- Soak clams in salted water.
- Heat oil in pan and saute onion.
- Add garlic, chili powder, and oregano to pan and continue to saute for a minute or two.
- Add sherry and tomatoes. Bring to a boil.
- While waiting to boil, scrub clams. Add clams to pan, cover, and simmer for 6 to 10 minutes. Use a big pan and allow space for the clam shells to open up. Otherwise you may need to add the clams in batches.
- While clams are simmering, cook pasta in salted water, al dente, about 6 or 7 minutes.
- Drain pasta, toss with a bit of olive oil and parsley and set aside.
- Remove with sauce from heat. Clams that have not opened after 10 minutes should be discarded.
- This part is based on preference. You may remove clams from shells and add back into sauce, or skip this part and leave clams in shells allowing guest to remove the clams. I prefer to discard the shells before serving.
- Melt butter into completed sauce.
- Pour sauce over pasta and toss. Serve immediately.

ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH BROCCOLI AND CLAMS
This is nothing fancy, but it is quick, easy, and delicious, and with items usually on my cupboard shelf and in my freezer. This recipe is a great way to get dinner on the table - Pronto! The real bonus of this quick-prep meal: The pasta cooks right in the sauce...only one pan to clean (I love it!!!). This is definitely one of my favorite (and, least expensive) weeknight suppers.

CREAMY SEAFOOD WITH ANGEL HAIR PASTA
Since I live off the coast of North Carolina I am always looking for seafood recipes. This is not only great it is VERY easy to prepare. The original recipe came from one of my favorite cookbooks, "Cook Healthy, Cook Quick". It called for lobster but I have substituted all types of seafood, (whatever I can find fresh!) and they all taste wonderful!! Serve with a salad and bread for a great light summer time meal!!

- In large pot over high heat, bring 4 quarts of water and 2 tablespoons of salt to a boil. Keep to a simmer until ready to cook the pasta.
- Meanwhile, in a very large sauté pan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil then add the bacon. Cook for 3-4 minutes, just until the bacon starts to render its fat. Add the shallots, garlic, crushed red pepper, and thyme sprigs, and saute for 3 minutes. Once the shallots start to turn opaque, add wine, clams with juice, salt, and pepper. At this point, you want to start cooking your pasta. Add the angel hair to the boiling water and cook for 3½ minutes (the pasta should still be firm to the bite since it will cook another minute or two in the sauce).
- While pasta is cooking, continue to let the clam sauce simmer, adding pasta once it has been 3½ minutes and 2-3 ounces of reserved pasta water to sauce and stir well for 60-90 seconds. The pasta will absorb most of the liquid but if it becomes too dry add a little more of the reserved pasta water. Test pasta for al dente texture and turn off heat. Add butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and parmesan cheese and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste, remove thyme sprigs, and enjoy!
