Step 1
Cook the 8 oz spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
Step 2
While pasta cooks, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Add 3 sliced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Add 1 lb scrubbed clams and 1/2 cup white wine. Cover and cook until clams open, about 5-7 minutes; discard any that stay closed.
Step 4
Add the drained spaghetti and 1/4 cup chopped parsley to the skillet. Toss with the clam sauce, adding reserved pasta water a splash at a time if it looks dry.
Step 5
Serve immediately, spooning clams over the pasta and finishing with extra parsley if you like.
