Ingredients

Preparation 20 minutes preparation + 15 minutes cooking

Carefully clean the clams several times under running water to remove all impurities.

Heat half of the oil in a pan over medium heat.

Add clams, mix and cook covered for 5 minutes or until they open.

Remove pan from heat to allow clams to cool. Shuck and strain cooking liquid through a very fine strainer or cheesecloth.

Heat the rest of the oil in another pan over medium heat. Brown garlic, peeled and crushed with a knife.

Remove garlic and add peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped tomatoes.

Add cooking liquid from clams and cook for about 10 minutes. Season with salt and remove from heat.

Meanwhile, boil pasta in a large pot of salted water according to package directions.

Drain and toss with prepared sauce.

Garnish with parsley and a pinch of freshly ground pepper before serving.

Wine pairing

A seafood dish par excellence, it is simple, aromatic, savory and offers us pleasing succulence and oiliness. As an accompaniment, we suggest dry, fragrant white wine, perhaps those produced in coastal areas such as Vermentino (Liguria and Sardinia) or Falanghina (Campania).

Chef's Tip

There is a variation: Spaghetti with Clams can also be made without tomatoes. In this case, open the clams, filter their liquid and save it. In a small frying pan, brown two cloves of garlic in half a glass of oil. Remove the garlic and add the clams and their liquid, let it boil once and toss with the spaghetti, finishing with chopped parsley and pepper.
