Add the drained pasta and carefully pour in the juices from the smoker tray.

Add the cherry tomatoes.

Stir to combine everything, then cover and cook on medium heat for a few more minutes, until the pasta has absorbed most of the smoky juices and has finished cooking.

Grind in black pepper to taste.
17
Carefully mix in the clams, or just spoon some on top of each serving.
18
