SEAFOOD PRODUCTS

One of the most famous best Italian seafood dishes is “Spaghetti alle Vongole” or “Linguine alle Vongole,” which translates to Spaghetti/Linguine with Clams. It is a classic and beloved dish that originated in southern Italy, particularly in the regions of Campania and Puglia. Here’s a description of this delicious seafood pasta dish:

The dish can be prepared in two ways: “bianco” (white) or “rosso” (red). In the bianco version, the pasta is lightly flavored with garlic, olive oil, white wine, and parsley, allowing the natural flavors of the clams to shine.

In the rosso version, a small amount of tomato sauce or cherry tomatoes is added to the sauce, giving it a slightly tangy and vibrant flavor.

The key to a successful Spaghetti alle Vongole is using fresh clams, as they provide the distinctive taste and aroma to the dish,

usually served as a main course and enjoyed with a glass of white wine.

This dish perfectly captures the essence of Italian cuisine, combining simple and fresh ingredients to create a flavorful and satisfying seafood pasta dish.
