Method
Chef's tip
This recipe can also be made using Barilla Gluten Free Fettuccine pasta.
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the Barilla Fettuccine pasta until al dente, about 12 minutes.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic and onion, cook until just golden.
Step 3
Add red pepper flakes and lemon zest, continue cooking 30 more seconds. Add white wine, then clams; increase heat to high. Cover and cook until clams open and release their juices, about 6 minutes (depending on size of clams).
Step 4
Add the cooked Barilla Fettuccine pasta back into the large pot and toss to get all the flavours combined.
Step 5
Remove from heat and if time allows, allow the mixture to sit for 3-5 minutes to absorb more of the beautiful flavours.
Step 6
Toss with fresh parmesan cheese and serve.

Fettuccine originates from the heart of Italy in the regions of Lazio and Tuscany, and is beloved for its flat, ribbon-like shape. Its broad surface area is ideal for hearty sauces, like Alfredo or Bolognese, creating comforting dishes that are perfect for sharing with loved ones.
