SUMMER PASTA SALAD WITH CLAMS
We absolutely love a summer pasta salad. A great dinner for two or a side salad for four, this is a great way to enjoy clams when you don't want a chowder. You can use fresh clams if you like, I use canned with no apologies! It's less messy...

Steps:
- Cook a box of pasta, drain and set aside. I choose to use a pasta that is similar in size to the clams.
- Add olive oil to a hot dutch oven or a pan large enough to hold all ingredients. Add onion and cook until translucent.
- Add the diced zucchini and garlic cooking until zucchini is nicely browned, stir frequently.
- Add clams with liquid, parsley and basil. Turn off heat. Add tomato, lemon zest and juice. Add pasta to mixture. Mix well and serve.
