Fregola con arselle

Fregola con arselle is a traditional pasta dish originating from Sardegna. The dish is usually made with a combination of fregola pasta, chopped tomatoes, garlic, clams, olive oil, parsley, salt, pepper, and white wine. The clams are cleaned, soaked in salty water, drained, rinsed, and cooked in olive oil with garlic and white wine until they open.

The shells are discarded and the tomatoes are placed in the pan along with cooked fregola pasta. The dish is shortly simmered until the sauce thickens and it's then garnished with finely chopped parsley before it's served piping hot.
