Angel Hair Pasta with Clams and Radicchio

Threads of bright uncooked radicchio soften when tossed with hot pasta but keep their rich hue. They not only add welcome color but complement the sea-sweet flavor and help separate the pasta strands, lightening the overall texture. Those who love an overflowing bowl of pasta but don’t want to double their starch intake will enjoy the “volumized” effect.

If you can find small Manila clams, substitute a larger quantity of these juicy little gems and cook for a shorter period of time.
