I generally make this for two. so obviously I don't use a lb of pasta.I like to use lots of Parmesan and clams. I will use 16-20 clams just because I like them so much. This is too easy and is delicious. If your clams haven't opened after 5-6 minutes, they are probably playing 'possum. Just stick a knife tip in them. They should open in a couple more minutes. If not, toss 'em.
