Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil spaghetti in salted water until al dente, about 9 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Cut two pieces of parchment paper (12×16 inches). Place each on a sheet pan. Fold in half lengthwise, then unfold to create a crease.

  3. Step 3

    Divide cooked spaghetti between parchment halves (left of crease). Top each with half the shrimp, clams, minced garlic, and oil.

  4. Step 4

    Pour 1/4 cup white wine into each packet. Season with salt and pepper. Fold parchment in half and crimp edges tightly to seal.

  5. Step 5

    Bake at 425°F for 10 minutes, until parchment puffs and clams open (discard any that stay closed).

  6. Step 6

    Carefully open packets (steam will escape). Sprinkle with parsley and lemon zest. Serve in packets with crusty bread.
