Hi everyone. Today I enjoy making this lovely pasta dish with fresh clams.
The saffron and chillies give to the dish an amazing combination that matches perfectly to the clams and courgettes.
Ingredients
- 250g of taglierini pasta
- 250g of fresh clams
- 4/5 courgettes (small size)
- 2/3 garlic cloves
- 2 sachets of saffron
- Chilli powder or fresh chilli
- Parsley
- Half a glass of white wine
Ingredients
Procedures
Leave the clams for an hour in cold salty water.
Slice the courgettes as you fancy. Put a bit of extra-virgin olive oil in a pan with a bit of garlic and then add the courgettes, the saffron, and the chillies. Cook the mix for about ten minutes, adding some water if required.
After one hour wash the clams under cold water. In another pan add some oil and garlic, then the clams, and the white wine. Cover with a lid and let them cook until they are open . This usually takes about 3 minutes.
Now that the clams are ready remove the sea fruit from the shell, and leave few with the shell for the final decoration.
Add the clams to the courgettes and cook them together with a bit of the sauce from the clams.
Cook your pasta without overcooking it, leaving it al dente. Add the pasta to the sauce and add the fresh parsley to it. Mix it together and enjoy it!!!
Ciao!!!
