Seungwoo Dad's Vongole Pasta

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Using fresh garlic sliced thinly just before cooking, rather than pre-minced garlic, allows the cut surfaces to interact with air, releasing a richer garlic aroma.
• Adding cooking oil to the pasta water only causes oil to float on the surface. The key to preventing sticking is to stir the noodles well for the first minute, rather than adding oil.
• There's no need to insist on using only Manila clams; using readily available and inexpensive clams like Japanese littleneck clams will result in a delicious dish.
• If you use a very generous amount of clams, you can omit the chicken stock and achieve a deep flavor solely from the clams' umami.
