We just love this simple recipe from Vincenzo’s Plate – spaghetti lusciously coated with white-wine sauce infused with clam and garlic flavours.
It’s so easy to cook too! It took us less than 30 minutes to whip up this delicious meal.
We used low-calorie pasta for this (and we didn’t have parsley) but flavours were on point! Slow-cooking the clams is a must to coat each pasta strand perfectly.
Trust an Italian for a delicious plate of pasta!
