Let the clams drain in cold water for at least 1 hour. Drain the water, and place the clams in a bowl with the white wine, olive oil, garlic, chives, and red pepper. Pour the clams and liquid into a very hot saucepan with a lid, and cook over a medium flame for 5–7 minutes, just until the clams begin to open. (Toss any clams that do not open.)
Ask a question about this stepAt the same time, cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water, about 6 –8 minutes or less, so that it is al dente. Drain, add butter, then toss into the clam sauce.
