Clams and Chouriço Over Pasta

(Emily’s Favorite)

Ingredients

  • 3 oz. EVOO
  • 4 lbs. Fresh Clams (small)
  • 2 cups chouriço cut into ½” slices
  • 20 oz. Mozambique sauce
  • 10 grape tomatoes (cut in half)
  • 2 lbs. flat-wide pasta (cooked and heated or thick pasta like Orchetta)
  • 4 oz. Melted butter
  • 2 tbsp. chopped basil
  • 6 slices grilled or toasted bread

Directions

Add EVOO to a large preheated saute pan, place clams in pan and cover. Let steam over high heat for 5 to 10 minutes until open.

Add chouriço and saute quickly to heat. Add grape tomatoes and saute for 5 seconds. Add Mozambique sauce and bring to a boil.

Add heated pasta and toss mixture so sauce coats pasta.

Remove from heat and add basil.

Pile pasta high in center of bowl and distribute ingredients evenly. Serve with grilled/toasted bread of your choice.
