Put the clams into cold water to soak. Clean the mussels of their beards and any other impurities. Drain the clams and rinse them well. Put the mussels and clams in a pot with high sides with no other ingredients. Cover and heat over a high flame until all the shells are open. Chop the garlic and parsley together and brown gently in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil. Remove the mussels and clams from their shells one by one, discarding those that are still closed and keeping a few of the shells for decoration. Strain the juices from the shellfish pan and add to the frying pan with the seafood and garlic and parsley. Cook the pasta and mix with the sauce.
