Sautéed Clams In Tomato Sauce
My favorite way to cook fresh seafood is to cook it simply with just a few ingredients. These clams are delicious, and combined with a loaf of crusty bread and a crisp green salad they can be made into a complete meal. You can also serve 6 as an appetizer.
Buon Appetito!
