CREAMY CAMPFIRE CLAM PASTA WITH TOMATOES
You can make a campfire seafood pasta with minimal provisions. All it takes is a few cans, some dry spaghetti and garlic-lemon butter (that you made back at home). Once the water comes to a boil the dish comes together quickly, so more time for marshmallow toasting and star-gazing.

SPINACH AND TOMATO SAUCE
My mother in-law is an awesome cook and this was the first meal she made for me when my husband and I were dating. Since then anyone I have ever made this for raves about it and makes it themselves. My kids absolutely love it (they are 5 and 7) and the spinach doesn't scare them away. Even our black lab knows when it's being served for dinner and waits to lick the plates, although there is not much left at the end of this meal. .

Tips:
- To save time, use store-bought fettuccine noodles, but feel free to make your own if you have the time and inclination.
- For the best flavor, use fresh clams. If you can't find fresh clams, frozen clams will also work.
- Be sure to rinse the clams thoroughly before cooking them.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the clams. If you have to cook them in batches, be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Be careful not to overcook the clams. They should be cooked just until they open.
- Add the tomatoes and white wine to the pan after the clams have opened. This will help to create a delicious sauce.
- Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Serve the fettuccine with the clam sauce immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.

This spinach fettuccine with clam butter sauce and diced tomatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
