I thought this would be a good recipe to try since I've never eaten let alone cooked clams and it sounded tasty so I may not be the review to look at if you already know you love clams. But I wasn't thrilled. I used a resling white wine and I think I should have tried something dryer, and my husband and I both thought the sauce should have been a little thicker so it could stick to the pasta and not spray all over the place.

This recipe was the best. Well after dinner my girlfriend and I just savored the feeling of happiness this recipe creates. The best advice is get a good crusty bread to dip in the liquor. It could be a meal in itself. This was my first time trying to make any kind of shell fish. It ended up being super easy!

Delicious! I used mahogany clams and served them with some extra drawn butter on the side. Thanks Scott!

This is, just as he says, a simple and delicious recipe. It's simple to make, no messy cleanup, and only takes 10-15 minutes to cook. Kudos, Scott!

This is very similar to a local dish here in Qingdao, China called 'la gala' I have this every couple of days, but we add a little chopped up dried red chillies, a small amount of ginger, and then sprinkle chopped coriander when the dish is finished. When done in a wok at high temperatures, we steam the clams in a very small amount of water 2 minutes & they are all open. The very quickly saute the garlic, ginger & chillies then add the drained clams back in, mix with the garlic etc for 1 minute then add reserved juices back in. Total time 5 minutes at most.

What a deliciously simple recipe! I love throwing this together as either a side for steak or as an entree on its own. For the wine, I use either Pinot Grigio or Chenin Blanc. And this recipe is just as tastey with mussels or a combo of both clams and mussels.

This was easy to prepare and tasted almost as good as a traditional white clam sauce. I only had two dozen clams on hand, but I added a can of baby clams (with juice) to make extra sauce to go with linguine. If I could give it 4.5 stars, I would.

For those wanting an easier cooking method, take the clams and put them on a hot grill. Let them sit for a few minutes until opened. Then take a tsp of the butter/garlic sauce and drizzle over the clam (make sure meat side is down). Cook it for another minute, remove them with tongs not spilling any of that juice, and eat immediately. Then take a good crusty bread and soak up any left over juices on your plate. And if you are lucky, dig up your own cherrystone clams like I do. Fresh is best.

What a wonderful recipe!! So simple and elegant and delicious. I used about a dozen large clams instead of the 50 small ones, and it worked out perfectly. I will make this again and again!!

This recipe was magikal. In every sense of th word; quick, easy, newbie friendly, I was even able to substitute champagne for white wine, it was all I had left over from New Years, and it was fabulous! Every single clam opened, and I had never steamed clams before. I also left it on about medium heat through the steaming process, they were all opened in about 15 mins. served with aspargus and almonds steamed in a lemone butter sauce. I also threw in a fres sprig of rosemary and dill in the pot, delicious! I will certainly be making this again!

Awesome recipe. Quick, easy and delicious. I served it with fresh Italian bread right out of the oven for sopping up the wonderful juices and a simple green salad...my husband said it was all of 5 stars! Thank-you.

These were really good! Unfortunately I didn't have any parsley and substituted butter for Benecol Light , but the flavor was great!Clams make lots of juice so have lots of crusty bread on hand! Will make again.
