One of my favorites, and so quick and easy to prepare.

Absolutely!

Thing that takes the longest is prepping the clams.

Once that’s done it all pretty much happens in the time it takes to make the pasta!

I am a native new englander who cooked in many, many seafood/ Italian restaurants. I know my way around a clam. Lol. Curious what you mean by prepping the clams?

Probably waiting for the clams to purge sand etc

Just putting them in fresh water to open up

Edit: I said “open up” I mean… release the salt water and sand from their shell..

It’s a thing.

Oh no! Just a quick rinse to get some sand off. Then toss them in that sauce and cook them! If they don't open up with heat, toss them. They ded. Open clams are bad clams. Unless they are cooked. Then the closed clams are bad clams.. the logic works, I swear. Wine, clam juice, garlic butter, herbage, maybe lemon, and that's it in a saute pan. Cook them until they open up with a loose lid and you are done. It should take less time than it takes to cook the pasta!
