SCIALATIELLI CON VONGOLE E POMODORINI 😍🍝
Have you ever tried it? What’s your favorite way to enjoy it? 🐚
Introduction
Scialatielli with clams and cherry tomatoes is a timeless southern-Italian classic that smells like the sea and summer. Born on the Amalfi Coast, scialatielli — a thick, irregular fresh pasta — embraces a simple, fragrant sauce made of fresh clams, sweet cherry tomatoes, garlic, good olive oil and parsley. The result is an elegant yet humble plate that brings seaside memories to the table with every bite.
Why this dish works
It’s the harmony of a few quality ingredients. Fresh clams provide briny depth, cherry tomatoes bring sweetness and acidity, the pasta’s texture traps the sauce, and the finishing parsley and extra-virgin olive oil elevate everything. Nothing complicates the flavor — you just let the sea speak.
