3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

Recipe

1.   
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add
the pasta and cook as the label directs; drain and set aside.

2.   
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a
large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, anchovies, red pepper
fakes, oregano and ¼ teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the
garlic is lightly golden, about 1 minute. Add the wine and cook until reduced
by half, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally,
until the sauce thickens slightly, 5 to 7 minutes.

3.   
Add the whole clams; cover and cook until they
just begin to open, about 3 minutes. Add the chopped clams and parsley;
continue cooking, covered, until the whole clams are fully opened, about 3 more
minutes (discard any that do not open). Add the pasta and the remaining 1
tablespoon olive oil; toss to combine. Season with salt.
