INSTRUCTIONS
Scrub the mussels and clams, scraping off any barnacles and pulling off the
beards. Discard any mussels and clams that remain open when tapped on a
hard surface. Set aside until required.
Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the spaghetti and cook
for 7 minutes, or according to the directions on the packet. Heat the olive
oil and butter in a large frying pan. Add the red onion and saut. for 2-3
minutes until just soft. Stir in the garlic, chilli, bay leaves and all the
shellfish. Cook for 1 minute. Quickly add the brandy and ignite to flamb..
Once the flames have died down, add the wine and stock.
Cover the pan and cook for 3 minutes until the mussels and clams have
opened. Stir in the chopped herbs and season to taste with salt and freshly
milled black pepper.
Drain the pasta, then either mix it into the shellfish sauce, or divide the
spaghetti among the serving plates or bowls, piling it in a tall mound in
the centre, and spoon over the shellfish sauce.
Serve immediately, with more freshly ground black pepper.
