Up to 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

If using dried shallot and garlic, soak in a little water for 15 minutes.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add in the spaghetti and cook till done. Drain.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a heavy medium sauce pan over medium heat. Add in the shallots and garlic and stir till just turning golden.

Add in the tomatoes and clams, with juice and the seasonings. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer till the pasta is done.
