Fettucine con Vongole

Good Morning, everyone!  Just wanted to share my attempt at the boyfriend's favorite dish - Spaghetti con Vongole.  (aka pasta with clams in wine sauce.)  Switched up the spaghetti for fettucine, but overall a fantastic dish...


Do the pasta while you're making the clams, trust me, this is a fast one.  1/4c EVOO, saute up 4 cloves of garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes for a couple minutes.  Add the clams, 3/4c white wine (I used pinot grigio) and juice of 1 lemon.  Cover with a lid and cook about 7 minutes until the clams open up.  I then removed the clams to a bowl, added some sliced cherry tomatoes, and let the sauce cook until the cherry tomatoes got soft and the pasta was done.  Add the pasta to the sauce, let cook for a few minutes to soak up the sauce, and then plate.  To the plate, top with the clams and some sprinkled parsley.  Voila!
