Let me introduce you to what is probably my favorite pasta of all time, brought to you by clams. It’s briny and bright, filled with garlic, lemon, and a generous pour of white wine, topped with spicy olive oil-fried breadcrumbs, and finished with parsley (my #1 favorite herb, sorry 2 dill). The clams do the heavy lifting here, giving up so much of their liquid to be soaked up by al dente pasta. It’s saucy, it’s delicious, and I hope you love it as much as I do.
