Notes
Can I make the sauce in advance? Yes, you can prepare the clam sauce in advance, but it's best to cook the pasta just before serving. Reheat the sauce gently, and mix it with freshly cooked pasta for the best taste and texture.
Can I make a spicy version of spaghetti with clam sauce? Absolutely! Add extra red pepper flakes or even a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce if you prefer it spicier. Adjust the heat level according to your taste.
What type of pasta works best with clam sauce? Gluten free spaghetti is a classic choice, but you can also use linguine or fettuccine. The key is to choose a pasta shape that can hold the sauce well.
How can I make the dish more nutritious? Consider adding chopped fresh tomatoes or spinach to the sauce for added vitamins and nutrients.
How can I store leftovers? Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
