Steamed Clams with Pasta

This classic steamed clam linguine is a sophisticated yet deceptively simple seafood dish that brings the fresh flavours of the coast to your kitchen. By steaming fresh littleneck clams in a fragrant base of garlic, parsley, and a hint of chilli, you create a natural, briny sauce that coats the pasta beautifully. It is an elegant choice for those who appreciate clean, Mediterranean-style cooking where the quality of the ingredients truly shines through.

As a high-protein meal, this recipe is as nutritious as it is satisfying, making it a brilliant option for a healthy midweek supper or a relaxed weekend lunch with friends. The iron-rich clams and heart-healthy olive oil provide a balanced profile that feels light yet indulgent. Serve this dish in wide pasta bowls with plenty of crusty bread to soak up the delicious garlic-infused juices.
