Preparation:
Time: 30 minutes
Yield: 4 SERVINGS
- Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil, then add a tablespoon of coarse sea salt.
- Heat the Granverde olive oil over medium heat in a sauté pan.
- Add the shallots and garlic. Sauté until soft, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add wine. Bring it to a boil.
- Add the clams and cover. Simmer for 6 to 8 minutes. If you are using little necks, put the pasta in the boiling water the moment that you cover the pan. For Manila clams, wait 4-5 minutes before cooking them.
