Spaghettini Alla Vongole

Submitted by Nif_H

"Do you love Italian food? Then you'll love this! Tasty, flavourful and one of my favourite pasta dishes. This is a slightly modified Catelli Smart Pasta recipe. It's the only pasta I ever use. White pasta that has more fibre than whole wheat pasta = doubly good. Enjoy!"

• 1 lb spaghettini (Catelli Smart brand)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

directions

1. Cook the spaghettini according to package directions.

Delicious! The squeeze of lemon really brightens things up and gives good flavour to the tinned clams. Thanks.
