Pasta with clams is a classic combination that has been eaten for centuries, with dishes like linguine alle vongole that originated in Naples. While many pasta dishes use clams in their shell, this recipe uses pasta with clam meat.
Clam meat pasta allows you to enjoy delicious clams without the fuss of shells. Our clam meat is fully cooked and vacuum packed in its juices, so all you need to do is reheat and add to your pasta for a dish packed full of flavor.
Another classic combination is white wine with seafood, and our pasta with clam meat incorporates dry white wine into the sauce. The sharpness perfectly balances the sweet flavor of the clam meat, and the cheese garnish adds an indulgent richness. This clam meat pasta can be made using any pasta, but we love to use spaghetti or linguine to soak up the clam meat sauce.
