The Irish tomato season is coming to an end, this recipe is a great way to use them up and savour the taste of summer for a little bit longer.
Serves 4
Ingredients
50ml olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
½ a large onion, finely chopped
¾ of a fresh chilli, cut into small dice
400g cockles and clams
400g mussels
20 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
30ml white wine (e.g. sauvignon blanc)
320g tagliatelle
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Extra virgin olive oil
Method
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan, add the garlic and fry gently for 1 minute. Add the onion and chilli and cook slowly for about 3 minutes. Add the cockles, clams, mussels, cherry tomatoes and white wine, bring to the boil, then place a lid on the pan and cook until the tomatoes start to break down and the cockles and clams open.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salad water – add a drop of olive oil to the water, and use a pasta basket if you have one. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add to the frying pan. Add the fresh herbs and season with salt and pepper.
Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, mill over some freshly cracked pepper and serve from the pan.
