1. Once you’ve hunted your clams (why do I keep saying hunt?), put them in a large bowl of salted water. Rinse each clam under running water. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, them submerge each clam into the water for 10 seconds, until the shells pop open. Remove the shells from the clams, and give it another rinse. Also, for specific instructions on EXACTLY how to clean and prep the clams, see the link in the post. I can’t take credit for how to do this. :) Once cleaned, give the clams a rough chop.

3. In the meantime, in a medium saucepan, add 2 Tbs. butter to melt. Then add the onion and garlic, along with a pinch of crushed red pepper. Season with a pinch of salt, then let it sauté just about three minutes, until the onion sweats. Add the wine and let it burn off, about 30 seconds. Then add the chicken stock, lemon zest and juice. Let it simmer another five minutes. Transfer the cooked pasta (and the clams!) and toss toss toss. Turn the heat off and add the remaining Tbs. of butter, about 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese, another pinch of salt (if needed), and the chopped parsley. Toss and serve immediately!
