Spaghetti with clams and garlic

As we were sailing into St Helens, a couple of scruffy fellas in a bashed-up tinnie, motored up alongside us and handed up a wet hessian sack before speeding off again. It was full of fresh Venerupis clams they had dived up that morning. That night, I cooked the boys this simple pasta dish. Thanks, scruffy fellas!
