--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2       tb           Olive oil
  3       md           Garlic cloves, chopped fine
  1       c            Rich fish stock, salt-free
  1       c            Dry white wine
 36       sm           Fresh clams, such as
                       -Littlenecks or Manilas, in
                       -the shell, thoroughly
                       -cleansed
    1/4   c            Fresh Italian parsley,

                       Freshly ground black pepper
                       Cooked pasta such as

 In a large saucepan, heat the oil with the garlic over
 moderate heat. When the garlic sizzles, add the fish
 stock and wine.

 As soon as the liquid comes to a boil, add the clams
 and cover the pan. Steam the clams until all of them
 have opened, 3 to 5 minutes; discard any unopened
 clams. With a slotted spoon, remove them from the pan
 and place them, shells and all, on top of cooked pasta.

 Stir the parsley into the liquid and spoon the liquid
 over the clams and pasta. Season to taste with black
 pepper.
