Spaghetti With Clam Sauce

Spaghetti With Clam Sauce is another first course of summer recipes, full of sea flavor to enjoy on your weekends.
It is a quick and easy, tasty recipe, which cooks for a while. The secret is in the clams. They should be very fresh.

The other secret to cooking a delicious clam recipe is to clean the clams well. For that reason, we put them in salty and cool water. After that, set them for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
They will release the sand they may have inside. These types of clams live in the sand, so we have to rinse them very well before cooking.

I invite you to explore our Blog food and try some other clam and mussel recipes. You can have a look at Shrimp and Mussels Pasta or Best Seafood LinguineRecipe.

Ingredients for 5-6 Servings

• 500 g square Barilla spaghetti
• 500 g of clams (vongole veraci)
• 2 large ripe tomatoes
• 1 garlic clove
• salt, pepper, parsley, and basil leaves
• Olive oil

Directions

1. After following the instructions above, rinse the clams well.
   In a saucepan with a lid, add a little oil and rinsed clams, and cook them to open in high heat.
2. In another pan, add a little olive oil and a clove of garlic. Heat the oil, and add the peeled and diced tomatoes into small cubes. Tomato is enough to add flavor, not to give the sauce its red color.
   
3. We will mix them well for a few minutes until the tomato cooks and makes a sauce. Add salt and black pepper.
4. Add the finely chopped fresh spices and the previously opened clams along with the resulting liquid. Be careful to drain their liquid because there may be sand at the bottom.
5. Boil the spaghetti in boiling salted water and drain to mix for two minutes in the saucepan to get the clam sauce taste.
6. Spaghetti should be al dente. We will add a little more of their boiling water so that the sauce comes out juicy.
7. Finally, add fresh spices, a pinch of olive oil, and serve them warm immediately. We accompany them with white wine.

Bon Appetit.
