The reviewer gave this recipe 5 stars. This recipe averages a 4.36 star rating.
Reviewed: Aug. 26, 2007
I made this today and really enjoyed it. I tend to intensify flavors, and this is how I tweaked this: to one lb. linguine I added 4 cans of clams, 3/4 lb. baby shrimp, 1 15 oz. can no sodium diced tomatoes (all I had, I would recommend two or three cans), 12 cloves of minced garlic, 1/4 cup minced onion, 15 oz. can sodium reduced chicken stock, 2 cups minced parsley, 3/4 cup olive oil, NO BUTTER (too much unhealthy fat and sodium-not needed), 2 Tbs. white pepper, 2 tsp. basil, and 1 1/2 cups of parmesan/romano cheese. Decadent, VERY authentic tasting...gourmet...delish!

Add a side salad and this is a great meal! I was looking for something that used ingredients I already had in the pantry, and this one fit the bill with a couple of additions. I used canned tomatoes instead of fresh, and upon reading the reviews of several other people, I added a few things to the sauce- including red pepper flakes, extra parsley and some salt and pepper of course! Overall this was great and I am defiantly going to make this again.

Excellent recipe. Nice change from the "creamy type" sauces. I used a can of diced tomatoes and added some white wine. Really good! Thanks!

Really tasty! I made a couple changes: substituted 1/4 cup of white wine and about a half tablespoon of butter instead of the full quarter cup, I used a little extra garlic, and used a ten ounce can of clams. This was really delicious with a baguette- a kicky upgrade to my usual white clam sauce. I'll be making this one again and again.

Well, it certainly was quick, and very easy to make. My complaint is the "look" of the dish. Maybe my can of baby clams was defective (or something), but it just wasn't visually appealing. It tasted OK (I guess), but I think I'll just keep searching. Thanks anyway, Paris.

Easy and flavorful. Tomatoes are not in season so I substituted with canned diced tomatoes and used Smart Balance for the butter. Tasted good.

I really changed this recipe to reduce the fat content. I cut the butter and oil to 1 T. each, and it was fine. Doubled recipe, used 2 can diced tomatoes, one Italian, 2 cans clams. Sauted garlic and some onion, til tender, added 1 can tomatoes pureed, 1 can whole,clam juice, 2 bay leaves, thyme and oregano, salt and pepper. Simmered, then whizzed 3/4 to make it smoother. Good flavor but I may stick with white sauce.

We loved this recipe. I made a few minor adjustments, and will make a few more: use 2 cans diced tomatoes instead of fresh, add 1/2 cup clam juice, use 2 cans clams instead of just one, and add 3-4 fresh clams per person. Serve with salad, baguette, and Sauvignon Blanc. Great meal!

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm it was like a mix of vodka sauce and olive oil and garlic sauce! Both big favs! I only had 2 tomatoes so i planned to add some paste, but as i tasted the sauce i realized adding anything else may just ruin it!

I have made this recipe countless times. Over years I have added a couple of things. I have added about 1/2 cup of Parmesan Chesse and 1/2 cup of heavy cream when reducing the sauce. Also a pinch of salt and pepper.

This was great! Very easy except fpr the peeling and deseeding the tomatoes (but you'll be glad you did). I substituted the 1/4 cup of butter for a 1/4 cup of white wine, and I put just a teaspoon full os margarine instead and it was awesome.

My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe. I modified it slightly by using canned italian style tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes. I usually make linguine with white clam sauce, so this was a nice change. I would definitely make this again.

I found that the amounts called for didn't make as much sauce as we like, so I doubled the ingredients and added a splash of white wine, and it was good. Nothing spectacular, but a good recipe nonetheless. I think it is missing something, but I'm not sure what. I also used shrimp instead of clams, which I guess makes it shrimp scampi instead of linguine with clams! I'll try this again with some variations to make a more flavorful sauce.
