2
While spaghetti cooks, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3
Add diced onion and cook for 5 minutes.
4
Stir minced garlic into the pan and cook for 2 minutes, continuously stirring to avoid burning. Pour in ½ cup white wine and reduce heat to a simmer.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Purge Your Clams Properly 🌊Soak razor clams in salted ice water for 30 minutes before cooking to remove sand and grit, ensuring a clean, tender bite in every forkful.
- Build Depth with Stock Reduction 🍲After sautéing garlic and onions, reduce your white wine by half before adding stock to concentrate flavors and create a silkier, more luxurious sauce.
- Time Your Clam Addition Perfectly ⏱️Add razor clams only in the final 2-3 minutes of cooking; they cook extremely quickly and become rubbery if overcooked, so save them for last.
- Reserve Starchy Pasta Water 💧Save 1 cup of pasta cooking water before draining, then use it to adjust sauce consistency and help emulsify butter and cheese for a cohesive coating.
- Finish with Cold Butter Emulsion 🧈Remove sauce from heat and whisk in cold butter cubes off-flame to create a silky, restaurant-quality finish that coats the spaghetti beautifully.
