Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound spaghetti
1 pint heavy whipping cream
2 cups jarred baby clams with juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ anchovy fillets
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 egg yolk
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt to taste
¼ cup crushed croutons, or to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, or to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
  • Combine cream, clams with juice, garlic, and anchovies in a large pot over medium heat; bring to a simmer and remove from heat. Add red pepper flakes and stir.
  • Beat egg yolk in a small bowl. Add one spoonful hot cream mixture to egg and stir. Repeat twice. Pour egg yolk mixture into cream mixture and stir.
  • Add cooked spaghetti to the cream mixture; stir to coat the pasta, cover the pot, and let sit until flavors combine and pasta soaks up some of the sauce, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top and season with salt. Ladle pasta into bowls; top with croutons and basil.

I'm not a fan of clams, but I tried this recipe anyway and I was surprised at how much I liked it! The sauce was flavorful and the clams were tender and delicious.

This recipe was too complicated for me. I'm not a very experienced cook and I found it difficult to follow.

I followed the recipe exactly and the clams were overcooked. I think it's important to keep an eye on them and remove them from the heat as soon as they're cooked through.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes, and it was much better.
