  • Serves2

Ingredients

  • 500 g Goolwa PipiCo Fresh Pipis
  • 250 g good-quality pasta
  • 60 ml (¼ cup) Lucia’s olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, finely sliced
  • 1 fresh chilli, finely chopped, or ½ teaspoon dried chilli flakes
  • 125 ml (½ cup) white wine
  • 500 ml Lucia’s Tomato and Basil Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Method

  1. Bring a large saucepan of well-salted water to the boil and cook the pasta according to the packet instructions until al dente.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and chilli and cook gently for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the Goolwa Pipi Co Fresh Pipis and the white wine. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook for about 4 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally until the pipis have opened.
  4. Meanwhile, gently heat Lucia’s Tomato and Basil Sauce in a separate saucepan.
  5. Add the warmed tomato sauce to the pipis and stir gently to combine.
  6. Drain the pasta and add it directly to the pan with the pipis and sauce. Toss gently until the pasta is evenly coated.
  7. Stir through the parsley and season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  8. Serve immediately.

Cook’s Tip: Cook the pasta until just al dente so it finishes cooking as it’s tossed through the sauce. Serve immediately to enjoy the pipis at their most tender.
