Spaghetti alle Vongole “Spaghetti with Clams” is a pasta dish that is very popular throughout Italy. This dish can be made two ways which are bianco (white) and rosso (red). The one which I have made is the bianco style which includes garlic, parsley and white wine and if you take rosso you add tomatoes and basil to this dish. Both styles are extremely simple to make and are really delicious. The clams which I have used here are frozen white clams. You can see most of the clams are already open when I added into the pan and it’s because the clams are frozen and it doesn’t make any difference or alter the taste in anyway but If you get fresh clams then never use the ones which are already open. I always use white clams for this dish because they are easy to find and also have a sweet taste which I really enjoy but try making this dish with a mix of different types of clams so you get a complex sea flavour. Do try this recipe and let me know your thoughts.
Hope you guys enjoy this video. Bon Appétit
