• For a creamier sauce, you can add a splash of heavy cream or butter to the pan before tossing the pasta.

Storage and Serving

• Spicy Fettuccine with Clams is best served immediately while the pasta is still hot and the clams are fresh.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Reheat the leftovers in a pan with a splash of water or broth to prevent the pasta from drying out.
