Time to treat your taste buds to exciting flavours of the sea with this delightfully simple Italian classic! This elegant seafood pasta dish should be kept as simple as possible to retain those natural briny juices of the clams; it would be unfortunate to lose them along with other flavours.
The sight and taste of anchovies may be repulsive to some, but that’s when served improperly. Together with garlic, this one little fish is able to deliver that savoury punch to the pasta that lingers on after every bite. While the addition of white wine helps to intensify the sweet ocean flavours of the clams. With the other condiments, it creates that perfect boldly flavoured sauce to go with the spaghetti.
Cooking pasta is so straightforward there are countless of ways one can enjoy it. It’s one of those main ingredients that can turn a quick instant meal into a gourmet dish even without much effort. We used San Remo Spaghetti, which cooks much faster than regular Spaghetti. With it, you can whip up this exquisite dish in an instance without forgoing any flavour!
