Sardinian fregola with clams

• portions: 2 servings
• temps actif: 5 minutes
• temps total: 30 minutes

Ingrédients

1 tbsp olive oil

2 cloves garlic

1 cup finely chopped tomatoes

1/2 cup white wine (dry best)

12 clams (approx, medium, more if small)

1 cup fregola pasta

2 cups fish stock (or eg vegetable/chicken stock)

salt and pepper to taste

1 tsp fresh chopped parsley (to serve)

Instructions

Finely chop the garlic and thoroughly wash the clams.

Warm the oil in a medium-large pan over a medium-low heat and add the garlic. Cook a minute to soften but take care not to let it burn.

Add the tomatoes and wine to the pan and warm through to a simmer.

Add the clams into the tomatoes, cover the pan and allow the clams to steam. As the clams open, remove to a bowl and cover to keep warm, if possible. If any don't open after a reasonable time cooking (ie same as rest) then discard as they may not be good to eat.

Once clams have all been removed, add the fregola and stock to the sauce, stir through well. Cover with the lid slightly open to vent and cook for around 15 minutes until fregola is tender but still slightly al dente. Check the seasoning of the sauce and add a little salt and pepper, as needed (unlikely to need salt but may need pepper).

Divide the fregola and sauce between bowls, top with the clams and a little parsley. Serve immediately.
