Capellini With Clams

Linguine with clams is one of those dishes that sounds elegant – or at least like the type of thing you’d order at an Italian restaurant instead of making at home – but it’s actually one of the easiest, most affordable pasta dishes you can make. I prefer eating capellini which I like more.

I actually added the bacon to this dish and a piece of lemon that balance the soup with wine.

I think the biggest obstacle for people is a fear of cooking shellfish like clams and mussels at home, which can be a little intimidating. On the other hand, Asian people are really good at cooking seafood at home, even selfish like crab, lobster that we are not fear of touching and cooking them. We more worried about that we couldn't get the fresh one at the wet market though.

I promise they are the easiest thing in the world to cook; once you try it, you’ll wonder what took you so long.

For this dish, you can do all of the prep and make the clam sauce in the time it takes to boil the pasta, so dinner is done in 30 minutes. To complete the meal, toss a salad, warm some crusty bread, and pour a glass of the same white wine that you used to make the sauce.
