Cooking Tips

• Make sure to clean the clams thoroughly before cooking to remove any sand or grit.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a tablespoon of butter to the skillet before adding the clams.
• For a touch of freshness, garnish the dish with some chopped fresh basil or a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

Storage and Serving

• This dish is best served immediately while the pasta is still hot and the clams are tender.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Reheat the leftovers in a skillet with a splash of water or white wine to prevent the pasta from drying out.
