Rolling out and shaping this handmade pasta together is the fun part. Make the dough a day ahead, wrap in plastic, and keep chilled.

For the dough:
Step 1
Combine 1/2 cup plus 1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup semolina flour in a large bowl. Add oil and 1/4 cup warm water and mix with a fork until a stiff dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, 8–10 minutes. Wrap tightly in plastic; let sit at room temperature 1 hour.
Step 2
把生面团切成两半。一次处理一块and keeping remaining dough wrapped in plastic, roll dough into a 9x3/4" log. Cut on a diagonal into 1/2" pieces; dust with all-purpose flour.
Step 3
Working with 1 piece of dough at a time, roll out between your palms to make about 3" strands that taper at the ends. Dust pasta with semolina flour and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with a kitchen towel until ready to use.
For the assembly:
Step 4
Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high. Add sausage and cook, breaking into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute. Add clams and wine; cover. Cook, shaking skillet occasionally, until clams open, about 5 minutes; discard any that do not open.
Step 5
Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 3 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking liquid.
Step 6
Add butter, parsley, pasta, and 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid to clams. Cook, tossing and adding more cooking liquid as needed, until sauce coats pasta, about 3 minutes. Taste and season with salt.

Back to TopThe pasta is easy to make and is similar to Ligurian pasta "trofie". It might be better served with pesto sauce (more substantial, creamier sauce) rather than light sauce since it doesn't cling to the surface of the pasta as much. I'm going to try again with pesto, though.

3 forks out of 5 because it's close, I made several edits to the measurements to make the potions correct and serve a family. Smstacey.wordpress.com

Very easy and economical dinner for two. We have made this twice since it appeared in BA and are having it again tonight. I hadn't cooked much with clams before and the first time making it made the mistake of salting before tasting. The saltiness of the clams are enough without adding additional salt! Serve with a good baguette and a simply green salad for a simple but elegant meal.
