🐚🍝LINGUINE ALLA VONGOLE 🐚🍝 One of my favourite seafood dishes, it’s so tasty and so simple! YOU NEED: (Serves 2) ❌400-500g of clams (per person) ❌2 cloves of garlic ❌1 fist full of chopped parsley ❌150g of cherry tomatoes ❌100ml of dry white wine ❌Olive oil for frying ❌1 dessert spoon of plain flour ❌100g of linguine (per person) ❌Salt & pepper for seasoning METHOD: ❌Soak your clams in cold water for about 3 hours and scrub until they are all clean. Add your spoon of flour, then soak again for another 30 mins. This will plump the clams before cooking. Rinse & drain. Discard any open clams at this point, they can’t be eaten ❌Fry the garlic & 1/2 of the parsley in a large pan on a low to medium heat for about 3-4 mins or until the garlic has softened but not changed colour ❌Add the tomatoes & sauté until the sauce becomes soft and thick in texture ❌Pour in the wine & cook for about 3 minutes until the alcohol has evaporated ❌ Add in the clams & put the lid on the pan. Increase to a medium heat. Allow them to cook for about 5-10 minutes, until all of the clams have opened. Discard any clams that are unopened or are empty shells ❌In the meantime, cook your linguine & then add it to the clam sauce once drained ❌Season well & add the rest of the parsley ❌Serve & enjoy! #recipevideo #foodvideo #seafoodlinguine #NOSrecipevideos
