  2. In a frying pan, sauté a clove of garlic with the chilli pepper, the anchovies and a drizzle of oil, then add the cleaned, washed and cut escarole and curly endive; fry for a few minutes then cover and leave to stew for about 10 minutes. When the escarole and curly endive are wilted, remove the lid and add the Taggiasca olives and pine nuts. Adjust the salt and cook the escarole and curly endive over high heat, allowing any excess water to dry.

  3. In a pot, open the clams by heating them with a drizzle of oil and a clove of garlic and let them
    cool enough to be able to shell them (keep some whole for the decoration of the dish).

  4. In the meantime, cook the spaghetti. Then once the spaghetti is cooked, transfer the clams to the pan along with the escarole and curly endive then add the spaghetti drained al dente and toss to coat.
