Spaghetti Alle Vongole
Today we bring you a classic spaghetti recipe that you can easily cook at home – Spaghetti Alle Vongole. Andrea, our Italian chef responsible for creating Pizza Pizzazz chilli oil, is using the Chilli No. 5 chilli flakes and our chilli oil to add spice and extra depth of flavour to this fabulous pasta recipe.This Italian classic from Campania around Naples is a tasty brothy pasta dish. We have used bronze cut pasta to cling to the sauce, but you can use a more healthy wholewheat pasta or even better courgette linguine. Clams are a lean source of protein, they are rich in minerals, vitamins, and Omega- 3 fatty acids. Clams promote sexual health and have been found to possess cancer-preventing properties. What's more, shellfish are rich in iron, zinc, magnesium, and vitamin B12 — all of which have key roles in improving your health.
Ingrediënten
- 6 ounces spaghetti
- 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 2 pounds clams
- 2 tbsp roughly chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- Pinch Salt
- 1 Bottle Chilli No. 5 Pizza Pizzazz
- 1 Bottle Chilli No. 5 Flakes
Instructies
- Bring 3 quarts water to a boil in a 5-qt. pot. Season with a pinch of salt, then add the pasta and boil, stirring regularly, until just cooked, about 2 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking water.
- Keep the clams in salted water so that these can open and release some of the leftover sand that they might have inside
- In the meantime, start to clean the garlic: form 3 to 4 cloves. Chop it nicely
- Chop some parsley
- Grab some beautifully fresh chillis
- Once the water is boiling, add a genorous hand full of salt
- Grab a portion of spaghetti (according to the number of people you're cooking for) – follow instructions of the package, but be about 1 to 2 minutes shy ;)
- Add in some anchovies fillets, a flavour enhancer (these will melt into the sauce so you won't see these on the pasta)
- Add some Chilli No. 5 Flakes Mix (A hot mix of fresh and dry chilli flakes)
- Add the clams to the WOK
- Add a splash of white wine
- Wait until the alcohol has evaporated
- Check on the pasta, even if it is more al dente do not worry because it will finish cook together with the clams
- Mix it well
- Add the secret ingredient: Chilli No. 5 Pizza Pizzazz Chilli Oil
- Add the nice handful of previously prepared parsley
- Make sure you keep tossing
- Ready to serve!
