Can we put bacon on seafood pasta?? 🇮🇹🥓🦪 Absolutely yes! This NYC-inspired twist combines crispy smoked bacon with fresh clams in a buttery white wine sauce. Unexpected? Yes. Unforgettable? Of course! @cookwithfez Ingredients (serves 4): 4 cups pasta shells (400g) 2.2 lbs fresh clams (1kg) 2 tablespoons butter (30g) 2 tablespoons white wine (40ml) 5.3 oz smoked bacon, finely chopped (150g) 2 garlic cloves Fresh parsley, to taste (qb) Preparation: Prep the clams: Place clams in a bowl of water with a pinch of sea salt. Let them sit for 30 minutes—they’ll begin to open and release sand. After 30 minutes, rinse them 3–4 times to remove any remaining grit. Cook the bacon: Finely chop the bacon. Place it in a cold pan (no oil or butter), and let it render over medium heat for 7–8 minutes until crispy. Set aside. Cook the clams: In a separate pan, melt the butter with the garlic cloves and stems from the parsley. Add the clams, cover, and cook for 3 minutes. Remove each clam as it opens to avoid overcooking. Add the white wine to the remaining liquid in the pan to balance the acidity. Cook the pasta: Boil the pasta shells in salted water for 6–7 minutes until just al dente. Drain and transfer to the pan with the clam liquid. Stir gently and add reserved pasta water little by little to create a silky sauce. Finish the dish: Return the clams to the pan. Off the heat, stir in a generous amount of chopped parsley. Serve: Plate the pasta, spoon the sauce over, and top with crispy bacon. #giallozafferano #giallozafferanolovesitaly #Bacon #Clams #ItalianFusion #SeafoodPasta #NYCTwist #PastaLovers #ClamPasta #SmokyAndSavory
