We all enjoyed this fast dish very much. <br/>Done with homemade pesto, fresh oregano and tricolor spaghetti. I added some canned artichoke hearths, beacause I wanted to add some veggies to our meal. All in one it's easy and tasty.<br/>The nutmeg flavour was a great new touch for us!<br/>Done for ZWT7.

This a delicious 30 minute or less meal. The recipe was reduced to serve 2 and a full 10 oz can of clams was used. Instead of the white wine I used additional broth from the clams. The pesto was a homemade tomato pesto. Both of us really enjoyed this served with steamed broccoli and red peppers as a side.

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
