For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the sauce along with the clams. Fresh clams can be used in place of canned for an even more authentic taste. Steam the clams open, reserving the liquid, and chop the meat before adding to the sauce. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preference. Serve with a crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
