Boil some water in a large pot for the pasta. Cook the pasta according to packet instructions and have it ready around the same time as the pipi's or just a bit before.
Soak the pipi's in a bowl of cold water for about 10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold running water.
Heat the oil and butter over a medium heat in a large, heavy-based pot. Add the onion and fry for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until translucent. Add the garlic, chili flakes and salt and stir for about 20 seconds.
Add the chopped tomatoes and fry for about 7 minutes until their juice starts to evaporate.
Turn the heat up to medium-high and add the pipi's to the pot. Cover with a lid. After about 2-3 minutes add the wine to the pot. Cover again and shake the pot from side to side.
Cook the pipi's for a further 5 minutes or until they open. Add the parsley and stir with a wooden spoon. Cover and shake pot again.
Drain the pasta and then pour the pipi mixture on top. Stir well and serve immediately.
