If they are open they are dead, do not use them! As soon as the pasta water is ready add the pasta and set your timer per instructions. Place a large saute pan on the stove and add the olive oil and garlic. Briefly saute the garlic then add the clams, basil and crushed red pepper to the pan and cover with a lid allowing the clams to steam open. If you have timed this correctly the clams will open with about two minutes to spare on the pasta, turn off the heat on the clams and keep covered until serving. Drain pasta, place in bowl and divide clams and sauce between them Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top of the clams and serve with grated Romano cheese. Learn more about your ad choices.

I feel like we should rename Adele, to Dr. Adkins because her music is cheaper than therapy, and for me, more effective as well. On this episode of Make It Cute, we're talking Adele's 4th studio album "30", and the devastatingly beautiful collection of songs she put together after 6 long years. This album certainly put me in my feelings, and I talk about my listening experience and reflect on the emotions that were brought out during it. Oh My God, Adele, I (also) Drink Wine and To Be Loved. I Drink Wine, but Make It Sangria: 6 oz white wine 1/4 orange (sliced) 1/8 cup cranberries .5 oz brandy Combine in a wine glass, sliced oranges, cranberries, white wine, and brandy. Turn on Adele's "I Drink Wine", crying is not mandatory but highly encouraged. Enjoy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
