Ingredients

  1. 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  2. 6 ounces thinly sliced pancetta, cut into thin strips
  3. 1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
  4. 2 pounds cherrystone clams, scrubbed
  5. 1 cup chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
  6. 1/3 cup dry white wine
  7. 4 small dried hot chiles (1-inch) or 1 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
  8. 14 ounces dried thin linguine
  9. 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves

Instructions

  1. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a deep 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then saute pancetta, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and saute, stirring, until golden, about 30 seconds.
  2. Stir in clams, broth, wine, and chiles and boil, covered until clams open, about 4 to 5 minutes (discard any clams that do not open after 6 minutes). If using whole chiles, remove with a slotted spoon and discard.
  3. While clams are cooking, cook pasta in a 6-quart pot of well-salted boiling water until al dente. Drain in a colander, then add to clams and simmer, stirring, 30 seconds.
  4. Toss pasta with parsley and drizzle with remaining 5 tablespoons oil.
