- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.

Steps:
- Char bell pepper over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Enclose in paper bag; let stand 10 minutes. Peel, seed and coarsely chop bell pepper. Transfer to processor. Add oil, oregano and garlic; puree until smooth. Season coulis with salt and pepper.
- Preheat oven to 500°F. Line large baking sheet with foil. Arrange clams on sheet. Bake until clams open, about 6 minutes (discard any that do not open). Cool slightly. Remove top shells; discard, leaving clams in half shells on sheet.
- Preheat broiler. Top each clam with 1 teaspoon coulis, then 1 pancetta piece. Broil clams until coulis bubbles and pancetta browns, about 3 minutes. Transfer to platter. Garnish with lemon; serve.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality clams. Look for clams that are tightly closed and have a briny smell. Avoid any clams that are open or have a foul odor.
- Purge the clams before cooking. This will help to remove any sand or grit from the clams. To purge the clams, place them in a bowl of cold water and let them sit for 30 minutes. Change the water every 10 minutes.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven for cooking the clams. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the clams from scorching.
- Don't overcrowd the pot. If you're cooking a lot of clams, cook them in batches. Overcrowding the pot will prevent the clams from cooking evenly.
- Cook the clams until they open. This will usually take about 5-7 minutes. Don't overcook the clams, or they will become tough.
- Serve the clams immediately. Clams are best served hot. You can serve them with a variety of sauces, such as a white wine sauce, a marinara sauce, or a garlic butter sauce.
Conclusion:
Clams with pancetta and scallions is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The clams are cooked in a flavorful broth made with pancetta, scallions, garlic, and white wine. The dish is finished with a sprinkling of parsley and grated Parmesan cheese. If you're looking for a delicious and easy seafood dish, give this recipe a try.
