Ingredients:
  • olive oil
  • 6 cloves of garlic peeled
  • 1 x 400 g tin of plum tomatoes

  • 1.5 kg clams cleaned
  • 100 ml white wine
  • extra virgin olive oil

Instructions:
  • Heat a large griddle pan over high heat, char the chillies for 20 minutes until blackened all over. Let them cool covered for 10 minutes before peeling, deseeding, and slicing them. In a medium frying pan, heat olive oil and sauté garlic until golden, then add the chillies and tinned tomatoes, breaking them up. Simmer the arrabbiata sauce for 5 minutes, season, mash, and set aside. Cook spaghetti as per packet instructions.
