In a medium-large sauce pot, combine olive oil and garlic over high heat. Cook until garlic is light golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper, then tomatoes and white wine. Saute for 15 to 30 seconds, then add clams and mussels and cover until their shells open, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in chopped parsley, then adjust seasoning to taste.
Transfer to a large bowl to serve with grilled bread, if using.
