TOASTED SPAGHETTI WITH CLAMS
Fast & Healthy. From "Fats Times with Ferran Adria" - Editor's Pick: Kristen Donnelly's Favorite from F&W Magazine, February 2005 edition. Ferran Adria credits the idea for this dish to one of his acolytes, Moreno Cedroni, the hyper-ceative Italian chef at La Madonnina del Pescatore in Italy's Marzocca di Senigallia. The method is very similar to risotto but spaghetti fills in for the arborio rice: Adria toasts it in a pan with a little oil, then adds hot clam juice until the pasta is fully cooked and loaded with briny flavor. Serve with a light zingy, minerally Albarino from Rias Baixas has the acidity to balance with the briny clams - try the 2003 Mar de Frade, an easy-to-find aromatic, zesty albarino.
