Spaghetti and Clams, My Favorite Pasta | Home Movies with Alison Roman

Let me introduce you to what is probably my favorite pasta of all time, brought to you by clams. It’s briny and bright, filled with garlic, lemon, and a generous pour of white wine, topped with spicy olive oil-fried breadcrumbs, and finished with parsley (my #1 favorite herb, sorry 2 dill). The clams do the heavy lifting here, giving up so much of their liquid to be soaked up by al dente pasta. It’s saucy, it’s delicious, and I hope you love it as much as I do.

Thank you for watching! Are you a clam pasta or shrimp scampi? Weigh in below!

[@Sodacake]

i only eat fart pasta

[@michaeljared7835]

Made the shrimp scampi on Sunday and noted that the clams looked great at the store, I think this recipe will convert me to the clam life!

[@davidcho0828]

Depends on the day!

[@Gilyarth]

I unfortunately had an experience with gritty vongole once, really disappointing, but done right it's fantastic, and I will try this recipe. Thanks so much!

[@CandaceKaru]

#TeamClam forever!

I would LOVE to see an updated kitchen tour. Bonus points for the rest of the new place.

[@chrissiemcgaw]

Extra extra bonus points for kitty content :-)

Shrimp only take, clams give… best line!

[@aigoochamnaa]

Alison, you are saving my life here. I've been dairy free for almost three weeks, but I want pasta! I just had your caramelized shallot pasta last night... and you give me another dairy-free pasta dish. Bless you, girl.

Fried bread crumb topping is such a game changer, I'll forever be grateful for your introduction of this fab topping in your 1st cookbook. I'm new to eating clams and this looks incredible, you're such a fun and confident teacher, thank you for always sharing the tastiest, best recipes with us :)

[@lihicohen2792]

I can't even eat clams but I love this home movie episode just like all the rest of them. Alison you are a true chef's kiss!

[@truthfinder6246]

Every other Tuesday, good for you! *This* is my favorite quick meal. I've got to try the crumbs. Looks delish!

[@chb3710]

You've inspired my husband to cook unapologetically (with the use of many bowls/pots/pans/utensil - as a husband does) and he cooks the most delicious dinners inspired by your recipes, thank you. We love your videos and often times play them on a loop on a Sunday evening to end our week and inspire us to cook for the week to come. We love you and your team (my husband is in production). TIA.

[@dakinelu]

I love the addition of the bread crumbs! Thank you

Alison has this way of looking at her bite of food intently and then diving for it. It's charming and endearing.

[@mithiladesai5097]

Alison is a gem of a story teller ay? I bet she always has had a personal narrative to each dish and special ingredients get flung some poetry on a good day. So that makes these KZbin videos the DVD commentary

[@DebWashington]

Love clams, wine, garlic and pasta. Thank you.

[@izzymarcil1616]

Can’t wait to try this! 😍

I have no intention of making this as I'm not a fan of clams, but I watched until the end just because I love watching you cook.

[@JimSlaughterOC]

Great video, thanks and I am going to make some clam pasta now. With your new schedule I think we will see a slight bump in the GNP due to people being more productive at work on alternating Tuesdays. Less happy but more productive.

So glad to see a clam video. I love clams so much. They not only put me through college, but bought me my first car. Turns out, a college girl in some Daisy Dukes can make A LOT of money shucking clams on the boardwalk at the Jersey shore. Shrimp scampi, while delicious, never gave back.

[@AnadeAlmeida]

There is nothing wrong with parsley but this recipe with coriander... another level!

[@lisaanderson135]

I have to say I love panko in my pasta, with a TON of olive oil and garlic! I mean, come on!?! If you are going to have garlic… just load it on!!! I love clams, but usually the bellies are a little too gummy. I am going to have to try your way of cooking them. Thank you Alison for this recipe ❤️ The perfect summer combo… pasta, olive oil, lemon, panko and garlic 😋yum

[@Italonino]

Alison steals my heart again with her suggestion of heat. Spaghetti con vongole, want some. German white wine works best in this application, you don't want it too dry.

[@slickstone]

My recipe is basically the same but I add scallions whites to the fried garlic and lemon zest at the end instead of frying the rind. I add the scallion greens at the end instead of parsley.

[@charlottedaisytwit]

Alison, where are your mixing bowls from? Love!

What's your take on mussels Alison? How does that substitution strike your clam loving soul? (I eat mussels but not clams due to some dietary particularities)

My heart broke a little when I heard you say you don't like all cats, just your cat. Glad I caught the addendum on my second watch, and my heart is now fully recovered. Which makes me wonder: when will your cat make an appearance in Home Movies? Shallot pasta will forever be my #1, but excited to try this one out!
