Have you ever tried samphire grass? It’s a sea herb with a salty taste, that goes perfectly with fish or seafood, it highlights their taste really nicely. I’ve been eating samphire for the first time the other week and was delighted with the taste, it inspired me to make this dish.
And if you like mussels and clams, then this pasta is something for you, it’s full of sea flavors, light, really good and original. The butter sauce with garlic is delicate and very aromatic, it goes fantastic with the clams and salty samphire.
It’s a tasty dish, real comfort food on a Saturday evening, with a glass of white wine and a side of candles … perfect!

In a large pot, bring the salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente.
Transfer mussels and clams into a bowl, cover with aluminum foil. Strain the broth and pour back into the pan, add butter, lemon zest and parsley, cook for 3-5 minutes.

Rinse the samphire under cold water. In a skillet, heat the oil, sauté shallot and garlic, add samphire and black pepper, cook briefly over a high heat.
