Angel Hair With Clams
- 13 cup olive oil
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 6 garlic cloves (minced)
- 12 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano (dried)
- 12 cup cooking sherry
- 15 ounces diced tomatoes (undrained)
- 1 lb angel hair pasta
- 5 -6 dozen clams (scrubbed)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 14 cup parsley (dried)
- Soak clams in salted water.
- Heat oil in pan and saute onion.
- Add garlic, chili powder, and oregano to pan and continue to saute for a minute or two.
- Add sherry and tomatoes.
- Bring to a boil.
- While waiting to boil, scrub clams.
- Add clams to pan, cover, and simmer for 6 to 10 minutes.
- Use a big pan and allow space for the clam shells to open up.
- Otherwise you may need to add the clams in batches.
- While clams are simmering, cook pasta in salted water, al dente, about 6 or 7 minutes.
- Drain pasta, toss with a bit of olive oil and parsley and set aside.
- Remove with sauce from heat.
- Clams that have not opened after 10 minutes should be discarded.
- This part is based on preference.
- You may remove clams from shells and add back into sauce, or skip this part and leave clams in shells allowing guest to remove the clams.
- I prefer to discard the shells before serving.
- Melt butter into completed sauce.
- Pour sauce over pasta and toss.
- Serve immediately.
