Pasta with artichoke and clam sauce
6 servings
35 minutes
Pasta with artichoke and mollusk sauce is an exquisite dish of European cuisine, combining sea and earthy flavors. Tender mussels infused with white wine and thyme aroma perfectly complement soft artichokes and juicy tomatoes. Crispy bacon adds depth of flavor, while shallots and garlic fill the sauce with rich spiciness. Al dente pasta ties all the ingredients into a harmonious dish with a rich and balanced taste. This treat is perfect for a romantic dinner or festive gathering, creating an atmosphere of Mediterranean elegance. Fresh herbs and a hint of paprika complete the composition, giving the dish finish and brightness.
