Spaghetti alle vongole

Spaghetti alle vongole, meaning spaghetti with clams, is a pasta dish of spaghetti cooked with fresh clams that originated in the coastal regions of Italy, particularly in the south. It is typically prepared with garlic, parsley, olive oil, and sometimes white wine, most often using palourde or carpet shell clams, known in Italian as vongole veraci, along with the small Mediterranean wedge shell. Numerous regional variations of the dish exist across Italy.
