Homemade Pasta With Clam Sauce

For the pasta:

• 2 cups flour

• 3 eggs

For the clam sauce:

• 3 pounds clams

• ¼ cup butter

• 2 Tbsp. garlic (minced)

• 1 cup dry white wine

• 1 dried chili (minced)

• 1 tsp. lemon zest

• 2 Tbsp. lemon juice

• Parsley

• Sea salt and pepper

Instructions:

1. Pulse flour in food processor to aerate. Turn the food processor on — add eggs one at a time. Once the dough becomes a coarse meal, remove it from the food processor and place it onto a floured countertop. 

2. Knead the dough gently into a flat sheet, adding more water if necessary to combine. 

3. Run through a pasta machine to reach the desired thickness. Slice the dough sheet with a spaghetti cutter or a knife.

4. In a large cast-iron skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes. 

5. Add clams and wine. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes or until the clams have opened. 

6. Add in the dried chili and parsley. Salt and pepper to taste. 

7. Toss with a pound of cooked spaghetti and garnish with lemon zest and lemon juice.
