    Summer on a plate: you'll fall in love with it from the first bite.

    Ingredients for 4 people
    • 400g of orecchiette Pasta Armando
    • 1 kg of clams
    • 25 courgette flowers
    • 250 g of yellow cherry tomatoes
    • Salt to taste
    • Black pepper to taste
    • 1 clove of garlic
    • Half a glass of white wine
    • Chopped parsley to taste
    • Extra virgin olive oil to taste
    Preparation

    First, soak the clams in a bowl of cold salted water for at least 4 hours.

    Next, clean the courgette flowers and cut them in half, then brown them in a pan with extra virgin olive oil.

    After 3 minutes, remove the zucchini flowers from the pan. Now add a drizzle of olive oil, the garlic, and sauté the cherry tomatoes, previously cleaned and halved.

    After 5 minutes of cooking, set the cherry tomatoes aside and add a drizzle of oil, the clams, and the white wine to the same pan. Immediately cover with a lid. Cook for 4 minutes.

    Cook the orecchiette in salted water and drain when still al dente. Stir the pasta into the sauce with the clams, cherry tomatoes, and zucchini flowers for 3 minutes.

    Plate up and... enjoy your meal!
