Step 1
Scrub the 2 lb clams under cold water, discarding any that are open or cracked. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the 4 sliced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Add the clams and the 0.5 cup white wine. Cover and cook, shaking the pot occasionally, until the clams open, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Discard any clams that stay closed. Stir in the 0.25 cup chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Serve immediately in bowls with the cooking liquid and the crusty bread for dipping.
