SPAGHETTI ALLA VONGOLE
SERVES 4
Prep time: 10 minutes; Cook time: 20 minutes
INGREDIENTS
▢ 1 box Bona Furtuna Organic Spaghetti
▢ 4 tbsp Bona Furtuna Extra Virgin Olive Oil
▢ 7 cloves garlic, minced
▢ 1 cup white wine
▢ 1/2 lemon, juiced
▢ 4 lbs littleneck clams, thoroughly cleaned
▢ 1/2 tsp Organic Oregano Flowers (or for a little kick use Bona Furtuna Aglio e Oglio Herb Blend)
▢ 4 tbsp butter
▢ 1/4 cup chopped parsley
▢ salt and pepper to taste
- Bring a large pot of water to boil and add salt to taste. Cook pasta according to the package. Drain and reserve 1 cup of pasta water.
- Set a deep saucepan over medium heat. Add oil and garlic and cook until the garlic is golden. Add white wine, lemon juice, clams, and Oregano Flowers and cover for approximately 6 minutes.
- Remove the lid and begin to remove the cooked, open clams into a separate bowl. Once all the clams have opened (discard any clams that do not open), add the butter and a splash of reserved pasta water to the pan.
- Add the pasta, stirring to coat the noodles. Add the parsley and clams back to the pasta, season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately. Mangiamo!
