Cook pasta to al dente, according to package direction. Taste Republic is a fresh pasta that cooks up in only 2-3 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat with olive oil.
Add the shallot and garlic and saute 2-3 minutes, until fragrant and slightly translucent.
Add the white wine, salt, pepper, chili powder, and thyme.
Cook until the wine is slightly reduced, approximately 5 minutes.
Add the clam sauce and fresh clams. Stir to combine and cover. Cook until the clams are opened. The steam will naturally cause them to pop after about 5-6 minutes.
Discard any clams that do not open.
Add the lemon juice and zest, parsley, and pasta. Toss together to combine. Buon appetito!
Notes
To clean your clams, put them in a colander inside a bowl and cover with cool water. Allow them to soak for an hour. Lift the colander out of the bowl. Using a firm brush, scrub off any grit or residual sand. Rinse them under cool water. If you don’t plan on cooking your clams as soon as you get them home, store them in a bowl covered with a damp cloth or paper towel until you’re ready to prepare them later in the day.Taste Republic offers a wide range of pasta styles and shapes.
