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.
