This velvety, buttery, garlic white wine sauce is what MAKES these clams! The more seafood I cook the more I realise that the best seafood is often the simplest to cook and these clams are no exception, if you have 15min and some Caught Online clams you are good to go. I could probably eat my own weight in these clams, they’re very moreish!

What I love about this recipe is that you can serve these clams as an appetiser or serve them over a bed of pasta for a meal.
And this velvety, buttery, garlic white wine sauce is what MAKES these clams. If you eat these without pasta to soak up all of that goodness, make sure you’ve got plenty of crusty baguette slices. This is a MUST!
