This was so delicious! I loved all the flavors, especially the garlic and clams. Definitely making it again!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! The garlic really does bring out the best flavors in this dish. Can’t wait to try it myself!
Too spicy for my taste! I think I put too much red pepper flakes. Maybe just gonna stick with plain pasta next time. 😅
Not sure what went wrong, but my clams didn’t open at all. Was I supposed to clean them better? 🙁
