Clam Sauce is a savory sauce made primarily from clams, often combined with ingredients like garlic, olive oil, and herbs. It is commonly served over pasta, particularly spaghetti, creating a flavorful dish known as spaghetti alle vongole. The sauce can be prepared with either fresh or canned clams, making it accessible for home cooks. There are two main types of clam sauce: white and red. White clam sauce features a light, broth-like consistency, while red clam sauce includes tomatoes for a richer flavor. Both variations are popular in Italian cuisine and can be enjoyed with various seafood dishes.
