Snails in Marinara

SLOW FOOD

Snails in Marinara sauce was always one of my favorites when I was younger. I haven’t had snails in a long time because the rest of the family just won’t try them. The only time I get to eat them is when we go out to dinner.

I remember one time when I was younger my mom put snails in the refrigerator overnight and the next day they were crawling all over the inside. Needless to say that was the last time we had live snails. So for this recipe canned snails will work just fine.

Canned snails are fully cooked and the shells have been cleaned and sterilized. All you need to do is add the snails to the sauce and heat through. I put a little extra crushed red pepper flakes into this Snails with Marinara recipe to give it a little extra kick.
