In a frying pan, sauté garlic slices in olive oil until browned and crunchy. Remove garlic from oil with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Add butter to the pan with oil, along with all other ingredients (except the pasta and bread). Be sure to include the juice from the clams! Bring to a boil and immediately lower heat and allow to simmer on low.

In the meantime, cook spaghetti or linguini according to directions.

When pasta is done, remove to a serving dish and mix in the soupy clam mixture. Top with crunchy garlic chips and serve with Italian bread.

Buon appetito! 🇮🇹
