Douse Your Seafood Pasta in White Wine Sauce Tonight

We go back to basics with Xemei's spaghetti with clams, mussels, and cherry tomatoes.

Spain might seem like an unlikely destination for authentic spaghetti and clams, but that all changed the day that the boisterous Colombo twins set up shop in Barcelona.

Their restaurant Xemei, which literally means "twins" in Venetian dialect, churns out Italian classics that make the most out of Catalonia's bountiful seafood but that also remind the Colombos of their home on the other side of the Mediterranean.

And if their Chef's Night Out episode is any indication, their love of Italian food is equaled only by their love of vodka.

So the next time you embark on a Colombo-esque bender, this super simple pasta will set you right. You just need a few bivalves and some leftover white wine, and you'll be back in action in no time.

And don't be intimidated by the clams and mussels—they won't bite. They just need a quick scrub and beard trim.
