- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

- 1 kg vongole, washed
- 1 x 400g 400g MUTTI Cherry Tomatoes

Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil.

- Add the vongole, wine, and tin of MUTTI Cherry Tomatoes, stir to combine. Cover with a lid and cook until the vongole start to open, around 2-3 minutes. Remove the lid and using a slotted spoon, fish the vongole out, discard any vongole that didn’t open.
