• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Crusty bread, for serving

Directions

1. Rinse the clams under cold water to remove any dirt or sand. Discard any clams that are cracked or open.
2. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add the white wine to the skillet and bring to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
