Instructions

Soak the clams for about an hour in a bowl of water with a handful of coarse salt. Rinse well to be sure there is no sand or dirt, and drain.
Combine extra-virgin olive oil in a hot skillet with chopped fresh pepperoncino, two cloves of garlic and the sprigs of thyme.
When the oil begins to sizzle, add the clams, stir them, cover, and let them open for 3 to 4 minutes.
Boil the spaghetti in salted water for about 8 to 10 minutes until very al dente, and drain.
Add the spaghetti to the skillet with the clams and sauté at high heat, stirring constantly until spaghetti are al dente and ready to eat.
Serve immediately with a drizzle of raw oil and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper.
