Clams for Dinner

My awesome neighbor Amy (and mother of Mathias' friend,Will) dropped by yesterday with a bucket of fresh clams!  I've never even really eaten a clam, let alone prepare them.  I pulled up my trusty ipad and searched for an easy recipe. 

1/2 cup butter
3 tablespoons chopped garlic
1 cup white wine
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes

melt butter in pan over medium heat, slightly brown garlic, add wine, seasoning and red pepper flakes.  Stir to combine.  Place clams in pan and cover.  Cook until the clams open up, discard any that don't.  Place clams in bowl and spoon extra juice over them.
