Clams with Linguine (you could also use spaghetti)

500g fresh clams.

5 mins before pasta is done fry up 2 cloves of garlic, but dont brown it, in a glug of olive oil
add chilli flakes

after 2 or 3 mins add clams, cover with lid and cook till clams open.
after a few mins discard any unopened clams.
drain and add pasta to clams and sauce.
