Ingredients

  1. 400g spaghettini
  2. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  3. 1 onion, chopped
  4. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 1 red chili, chopped (optional)
  6. 500g fresh clams, cleaned
  7. 200g cherry tomatoes, halved
  8. 1/2 cup white wine
  9. 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  10. 1 jar Barilla Basilico sauce (or similar tomato sauce)
  11. Salt and pepper to taste
  12. Extra virgin olive oil (for drizzling, optional)

Method

  1. Cook the spaghettini in a large saucepan of lightly salted boiling water according to packet instructions or until al dente. Drain well.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the onion, cook stirring occasionally for 3-4 minutes, add the garlic and chilli, and cook stirring for 1 minute more.
  3. Add the clams and tomatoes, increase heat to high, cover and cook for 2 minutes. Add the wine, continue to cook covered until the clams are opened, and add half the parsley.
  4. Remove half of the clams from their shells and discard the empty shells. Add the Barilla Basilico sauce and simmer for 2 minutes.
  5. Add the drained pasta to the pan and toss together for 1-2 minutes, sprinkle with the remaining parsley. To serve, divide between serving bowls, drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil if desired.

Chef's Tip

Spaghettini with clams and cherry tomatoes is all about freshness, simplicity, and balance. As the clams open, they release a naturally sweet and briny seafood flavour that blends beautifully with garlic, white wine, and juicy tomatoes to create a light but deeply savoury sauce. Tossing the pasta through the sauce allows every strand to absorb the flavours, creating an elegant Italian seafood dish that feels fresh, vibrant, and comforting.
