Ingredients
100g dry spaghetti
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Boil and set aside the pasta.
Heat the olive oil, add the garlic and red pepper and sauté. Add the clams, wine and lemon juice. Put the lid on and cook for about 8 minutes until the clams have opened. Shake the pan to help them open. Discard any that haven't fully opened.
Add the tomatoes and reheated spaghetti to the pan.
Add the butter and salt and pepper to taste.
Toss the pasta with the clams, put it onto plates or dishes, and add chopped parsley and a drizzle of olive oil to serve.
