Ingredients

  • 175g spaghetti

  • splash of wine, whatever you have
  • 1 garlic clove, finely crushed
  • handful parsley
  • freshly grated parmesan, to serve (optional)

Tip

Give it a twist
Use any other long pasta instead of spaghetti – tagliatelle and linguine are both good. If you have basil handy, throw in a handful of roughly chopped leaves before serving.

Method

  1. Firstly, cook the pasta. Boil the kettle, then three-quarters fill a large pan with boiling water. Add some salt – the water will seethe – then coil in the spaghetti. Simmer, uncovered, for 12 mins or according to pack instructions.

  2. Meanwhile, to make the sauce, tip the clam sauce into a small pan, pour in the wine and add the garlic. Simmer for a few mins while you coarsely chop the parsley, then stir into the sauce and grind in a good amount of black pepper.

  3. Drain the spaghetti and tip into a warmed bowl. Pour in the sauce and toss well. Serve at once, with grated parmesan scattered over if you like.
