Step 1
Scrub the 2 lb clams under cold water and discard 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 6 minced garlic cloves and 1 tsp chili flakes; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Add the 0.5 cup white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the clams, cover, and cook until they open, about 5-7 minutes, shaking the pot occasionally.
Step 4
Discard any clams that haven't opened. Stir in the 0.25 cup chopped parsley and serve immediately with crusty bread or over pasta.
Step 5
Enjoy your garlic clams!
