    How to Make Spaghetti with Spicy Tomato, Clams, and Bacon

    1. Cook Spaghetti

    Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside.

    2. Prepare Clams

    Wash the clams thoroughly with water and cornmeal to purge sand, steam in pasta pot with water until they open, and discard any that remain closed.

    3. Cook Bacon and Garlic

    In a large skillet, cook the bacon until crispy, then use the bacon fat to sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.

    4. Add Tomatoes and Simmer

    Add the diced plum tomatoes and red pepper flakes to the skillet, cooking until the tomatoes soften and release their juices.

    5. Create Clam Sauce

    Pour in the white wine, simmer for a few minutes, then add the steamed clams and crispy bacon, stirring to combine.

    6. Toss Spaghetti with Sauce

    Toss the cooked spaghetti with the clam sauce in the skillet, ensuring the pasta is well-coated.

    7. Garnish and Serve

    Transfer the spaghetti to a serving dish, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
