Pour the cockles into a sieve and wash under cold running water. They should close. Throw away any that don’t. Bring 4-5 liters / quarts of salted water to a boil. Pour in the pasta and cook until al dente (8-10 minutes).

In the meantime, prepare the shellfish. In a large Dutch oven melt 70 g seaweed butter. Turn up the heat and add the cockles, cooking for 5 minutes. They must open—throw away those that do not. Leave a few cockles in their shells to decorate, shell the rest. Strain the cooking liquid to eliminate any remaining sand. Finely chop the parsley. Set the seaweed butter and cockle juice aside in a pot.
