This dish is perfect to enjoy at a family dinner or with friends, highlighting the fresh and marine flavors of the clams enhanced by the rich and aromatic marinara sauce.
To ensure that the clams are completely clean and free of sand, place them in a large bowl with cold water and a good amount of salt (approximately 2-3 tablespoons) for at least 2 hours, changing the water and salt every 30 minutes. This additional soaking process will help remove any traces of sand and ensure a more enjoyable cooking experience. Also, using a good quality white wine will significantly enhance the flavor of the sauce. Other pro tips

Note: These values are approximate and may vary depending on specific ingredients and amounts used.
Fresh clams are ideal for this recipe, especially thin clams or clams. However, you can also use frozen clams, making sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
If you do not have white wine, you can substitute an equal amount of fish stock or even water. However, white wine adds a unique flavor and aroma to the marinara sauce.
Flour is used to slightly thicken the sauce, but it is optional. If you prefer a lighter sauce, you can omit it without problems.
The cooking time of the clams “a la marinera” may vary according to their size. In general, it is recommended to cook them for 5-7 minutes, or until they open. Discard any clams that do not open after this time.
Fresh clams should be tightly closed. If one is open, tap it gently: if it closes, it is alive and fresh. If it does not close, discard it.
You can prepare the clams in advance up to step 3, that is, cook them just before serving so they do not dry out.
Clams a la marinera are a delicious dish on their own, but you can also serve them with crusty bread to dip in the sauce. They also go well with white rice or fried potatoes.
It is not recommended to freeze clams a la marinera, as the texture of the clams may be affected by thawing. It is better to enjoy them freshly cooked.
