Being my first post, I'd first like to say that if you change the recipe, base your review on the recipe as written. I see a lot on the reviews where people drastically change the recipe and then leave an unfair review. With that being said: This recipe was delicious. Very classic and flavorful. I can't ever follow a recipe as written, so the second time I made it, here was my tweaks: I added a splash of white wine to the sauce, which added a nice background flavor and lightness to an otherwise heavy sauce. Then I added about 1/2 cup of chicken stock instead of more clams or clam juice as to not make it TOO clammy. I also cut the butter in half. Adding the wine and stock gives the sauce a richness and a punch of flavor so that you really do not need or miss all that butter. I added the pasta to the sauce, turned the heat down to low and let the sauce cook with the noodles for a few minutes. This is a very authentic thing to do with any pasta dish. Then we served with fresh Parmesan, some chopped fresh Italian parsley and bread. My husband also likes to sprinkle red pepper flakes on his which is another classic addition to this dish :) I LOVED this recipe as written and also with my tweaks!
