Steps

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook spaghetti according to package directions until just under al dente, about 12 minutes. Drain.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, preserved lemons, and Calabrian chiles, and cook for 1 minute. Add wine and clams, then season everything with salt and pepper. Cover and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until clams have opened. Add spaghetti and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more, until spaghetti is fully cooked, and everything comes together.
Discard any clams that have not opened. Sprinkle pasta with parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
