Spaghetti alle vongole and pasta ai frutti di mare are two of Italy’s most iconic seafood pasta dishes. They look simple, and they are. But they are also incredibly easy to get wrong.
With recipes like these, there is nowhere to hide. A small mistake in ingredient choice or one missed step in technique can completely change the final result. The difference between a light, flavorful seafood pasta and a watery, disappointing one often comes down to details that most people overlook.
In this video, Eva shows how these classics are really made, focusing on the quality of the seafood and the crucial technique that brings everything together properly. When done right, they are some of the best and most satisfying pasta dishes you can make!

How’s Baby Desa?

Where I live I have plenty of seafood like oysters, shrimp etc. maybe I try to adapt this to my available resources…
We in Australia 🇦🇺 call your clams pippies (those bambino ones) 😊
Yes, in America you can't find le vongole veraci. For the Frutti di Mare, we put some pepperoncino in the soffritto🌶🌶, and with both dishes, we put parsley in the pan with the clams or frutti di mare when it's cooking, then a little more fresh parsley at the end 🌿 Viva gli Spaghetti alle Vongole/Frutti di Mare! 🎉🎉
Yum 🤤 😋🍽️🫶🫶💙🩷🥖 thanks for sharing
Christmas Eve dinner!
Thank you for the two seafood dishes. Hmmm Wisconsin seafood??? Usually only frozen can be had.
Eva, I am wishing you wellness for your exciting pregnancy.
shrimps vongole and calamari have very different cooking times, you cannot put them all together like that
Ah! Italian cuisine in the hands of someone who love it and know how to manage ^^ Hugs!
That was great. Love you two.
Thank you so much
Stasera a cena ho preparato le linguine alle vongole! 😋
Leftover vongole, I add anchovies and capers, so good…
Sorry Eva, I am a member of the Giant Clam Posse, here on the North Shore of Massachusetts! I like big clam butts and I cannot lie! Quahogs!!!!! I moved here from Chicago just for these salty butts.
I assume that adding a little pepperoncini to clam or frutti is okay?
You guys have inspired me to potentially retire in my wife's original home country at some point.
One Quahog, two shells, one quarter pound of meat!!! Generous portions AND ample parking in the rear!!! What do have there Eva? 100 shells? "Ain't nobody got time for that!" Apparently the new correct term is Surf Clam? Whatever.
Wonderful as always…❤️👍🇮🇹
She's exhausting and overbearing. Just cook spaghetti and zip it
Is there a pasta dish just with gamberi?
For the Frutti di mare – doesn't that way overcook the calamari?
I love these recipes. & you! So happy for your new life.
Video starts off with, "We're in the mood for seafood pasta today…" Poor Eva is probably off camera and green around the gills. 🤢
I loved Fasolari in campania (sp. conchas finas). Are there recipes for cooking?
What wines do you recommend from America? Any good ones from Costco?
I like to chuck some chilli flakes in with the calms n wine, add a nice little bit of background heat that goes well with the sweetness of the clams.
Calamari is my FAVORITE food, pan fried baby squid would be my last meal!
Eva ne sa sempre una in più di YouTube. In vita mia ho visto spaghetti con le vongole in bianco, oppure spaghetti ai frutti di mare al sugo. Spaghetti con le vongole e frutti di mare in bianco è la prima volta che li vedo, ma a prima vista solo da 3 stelle Michelin. Eva, se accetti un primo posto a pari merito, penso che il tuo canale e quello di Max Mariola sono i migliori canali di cucina italiana su YouTube.
My favourite seafood pasta actually came about because of Eva. On one of the early videos I watched, Eva told us about a recipe she ate regularly as a student. It was a tomato and Philadelphia cheese with spaghetti. One day I fancied a prawn soup, so I began gathering ingredients, only to discover I didn't have everything I needed. I then decided on Eva's recipe, but I still had the prawns. Then I found my basil was spoiled. The final recipe ended up as follows. I sauted an onion, added cherry tomatoes, cut in half. I then sprinkled dried Italian herb blend over the tomatoes and onion. I added the Philadelphia cheese, thinning it with pasta water until it was slightly runny. I then added the prawns and cooked for a few minutes before adding the spaghetti. I finished cooking until the pasta was cooked and the sauce had thickened. These days I usually use fresh basil, but the dried herbs will work if that is all I have on hand.
Sweden has no clams 🙁
Please give us an update on Eva and how she's feeling.
All good, but I am missing the dash of pepperoncino!!!
I went to Italy as a teenager and couldn’t work out how you are supposed to eat spaghetti alle vongole
Funny – while i don´t mind Evas italian accent in english Harpers italian causes my ears tu curl up…🤣
i don't eat a lot of fish, so these pastas are ALWAYS my go-to whenever i get dragged to a seafood restaurant, because, living in Sicily, you're gonna be eating A LOT of fish and seafood, if you don't like it, like me, it can be a little inconvenient.
