Cooking Tips

• Make sure to thoroughly clean the mussels and clams before cooking to remove any sand or grit.
• Cook the spaghetti al dente, as it will continue to cook slightly when combined with the sauce.
• Use a good quality white wine for the sauce to enhance the flavors of the seafood.
• Garnish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a burst of citrusy flavor.

Storage and Serving

• This dish is best served immediately while it is still hot and fresh.
• 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.
