Date: Sat, 18 May 1996 09:27:36 -0500 From: "Andrew M. Skier" <andrew@...> I have not specified amounts for the chiles and peppers in this recipe, use your imagination!

Add the olive oil to a hot pan and heat, then add the garlic and cook until softening but not browned (very briefly). Add all your peppers & chiles (except black pepper) at this point. Allow them to cook very briefly, then add both cans of clams WITH THE JUICE. Heat and allow to simmer while the pasta cooks. Add the black pepepr just before adding it to the pasta. By now your kitchen should be filling with heavenly smells, so hold on just a minute longer! When the pasta is done, toss it with the sauce (it should be slightly thick, enough to cling to the pasta. Add a little pasta water if it gets TOO thick) and the lemon juice. Serve with parmesan cheese (preferly freshly grated) on the side.
