I love this recipe because…it reminds me of wonderful holidays in Italy, and one particular birthday when I had this meal in a restaurant overlooking the Marina on Capri – pure bliss!

I love this recipe because it reminded me of my trip to Italy – Sicily and all I have eaten there is Spaghetti Vongole! And now I am able to recreate the sweet memory with this recipe x
