Ingredients:

• 1 lb. tagliatelle pasta
• 1 lb. fresh cockles, scrubbed and rinsed with cold water
• 3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1 tbsp. butter
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

3. Add the fresh cockles and white wine to the pan. Cover with a lid and let them cook for 3-4 minutes or until the cockles are opened. Discard any unopened cockles.
