Ingredients:
4 tablespoons fine quality olive oil
5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

1 cup bottled clam juice or broth
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

hot, cooked angel hair pasta or spaghettini
Directions:
Heat the oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and cook until just light golden brown, about one minute. Do not let it burn.
Add the clams, clam juice, fresh basil, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat and let simmer until the clams open, about 8-9 minutes.
Remove and discard any clams that do not open.
