What do you do with the left over dishes ? I cooked a kilogramme of clams for last last Sunday lunch . It was delicious but a kilo...ok we were gluttons...we tried to finish it off between the two of us but alas we were too full, so I told Wild Boar not to worry, cling wrapped them and keep in the fridge. I used it for the spaghetti I was going to cook for dinner. This was the outcome of what happened to the left over clams from lunch :) It was not just the finger licking good garlic and chilli sauce from the clams but the additions of homegrown basil and tomatoes that makes this pasta delicious. Even Wild Boar loved it ! The basil gave the extra flavor needed for the bland spaghetti. I wish my dinners can be simple like this all the time :p. I prefer pasta to rice!
This type of clams are meaty and sweet. I love it ! slurrrp slurrp slurrp :)
