Cavatelli with Clams and Scampi

Cavatelli with clams and scampi is a main course with a rich sauce and a sea flavor. For this recipe, I used store-bought cavatelli, and I dressed them with a sauce of garlic, parsley, cherry tomatoes, clams, and scampi. With fresh and quality ingredients, you will bring to the table a dish with an explosive flavor.
