["1. In a large skillet with lid*, heat olive oil over high heat until almost smoking. Add the onion, cook for 3 minutes until softening occurs. Add garlic and cook 3 minutes until both are soft and lightly browned, being careful not to burn your garlic. Nothing will ruin a dish faster than burnt garlic. Add the Peppers, 1/2 of the Chives, the Clams, White Wine and Arrabbiata Sauce and bring to a boil. Cover and cook until all Clams steam open*, about 5 minutes. Discard any unopened Clams.", "", "2. Season Broth with Salt & Pepper. Divide the Clams and broth evenly into four large bowls, finish with remaining Chives and serve with bread**.", "", "", "Notes:", "", "* To help make sure Clams open properly, do not over crowd your skillet, the weight of excess Clams will hinder them from openly properly.", "", "", "** To add an extra touch to your bread, slice your baguette bread on a bias about 1 1/2"" - 2"" thick, rub with olive oil and season with Salt, Pepper & Garlic, and place on grill until crispy and slightly charred."]
