London is basking in lovely warm, late summer days; running on the Heath is fab and I wish I could go for a swim in the sea.
I drove back from work with this thought in mind, despited a jammed M4 and crazy traffic.
I still had some few cherry tomatoes from my parents' garden and they were perfect for a fresh tomato sauce, so summery! Clams made the job in taking us back to Sardinia, at least for few minutes ;-)
Ingredients:
160g linguine
20 cherry tomatoes
130g clams in brine
1 tbsp EVO oil
1 pinch of red peppers

Ingredients:
160g linguine
20 cherry tomatoes
130g clams in brine
1 tbsp EVO oil
1 pinch of red peppers
Place the tomatoes in a pan, turn the heat at full whack and add a pinch of salt. Once they start blowing up, lower the heat add 1/3 glass of water and the EVO oil. Cover with a lid and let it cook gently for about 20 minutes. Once the tomatoes are softer crush them with a potato masher, simmer for a couple of more minutes and blend all together.
Pour the clams and brine in a wok and add the tomatoes sauce, turn the heat at the lowest setting and sprinkle the red peppers; cook the linguine as per packet instruction. When ready drain them and toss the pasta in the wok, stir well for a couple of minutes and serve immediately.

our wine-free weeks continues.. but a bubbly prosecco or even better a fizzy Vermentino di Gallura would be a great match!
