Excellent! After reading reviews I did reduce tomato paste by half, although I don't think it would have mattered much to use all. I was prepared to use scallops, however because they turned to mush while cooking them (bought the wrong size) I used extra shrimp and canned clams. Loved the sweet taste of the sauce, and leftovers were equally good.

I liked how the sauce mixed well with the seafood and pasta. I would use less white wine next time because it was a little too strong in flavor. I loved the hint of spiciness and I loved the smell. I would definitely try this one again. Thank you for the recipe!

I made this dish as a celebration dinner for me and my honey for our first night in our new home. It was absolutely wonderful, and knocked his socks off. I stepped out of character and actually followed the recipe to the letter, and it turned out just perfectly. This will definetely be one of my new favorite dishes to make. Bravo and thanks for the great recipe!!!

Fantastic!!!! I served it for our Christmas dinner. My Italian mother-in-law LOVED it (as did the whole family). I will definately make this many times more. I left out the pepper flakes, cut back on the tomato paste and used canned whole baby clams and it worked out great. Made ALOT! Yummy!

I doubled this recipe and used half the red pepper, no sugar and paste depends on the brand of tomatoes you buy. I thought it was WAY too hot. I was so embarassed. My Mother literally choked on it. My lips with tingling. The men in the family liked it. But I won't make it again.

This was damn good. I will make again soon. Now I am addicted. I couldn't find fresh clams so I bought canned. It was so much easier. Hubby loved it too. Thanks so much for sharing. Made some garlic break and a good bottle of Chardonnay. I cut the tomato paste in half as others recommended. I think it would have been too much if you put the whole amount. Added throughout the simmering more wine. Would add next time more crushed tomatoes to make it saucier.

Very good! I agree that the additional tomato paste is unnecessary. Forgot to pick up clams but it was great with just the shrimp and scallops. Very nice tomato sauce base that I could see using with other fish (in pasta).

I made this for Christmas dinner and it turned out great! I used shrimp, scallops and clams but it would have been fine with just shrimp for a less expensive alternative. I also added Old Bay seasoning while cooking the shrimp and scallops for a little added flavor. Great Recipe:-)

I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful meal! I have only one complaint... It was SO spicy... And I had even cut the red pepper flakes like the others suggested - but apparently not enough! I also cut on the tomato paste as well... used half. Otherwise, definitely loved it and well worth the time to prepare! My boyfriend even loved it too... mr. picky! Ironically... I could not find fresh nor frozen clams, so I used canned chopped clams. It was okay... would have rather it been whole clams. I used cooked shrimp as well. Only thing I had to cook were the scallops, and I warmed up the shrimp in the pan as well. Yes, it was very much enjoyed! Thanks so much!!!

Very good! I did make a few alterations though. First of all, I pureed the sauce before simmering it for and hour, simply because I like a non-chunky, smooth sauce. Also, I halved the amount of pepper flakes because I was cooking for company and didn't want it to be too spicy. Not to mention that I only used half the amount of tomato paste, as others had recomended. Also, I the clam meat (without the shells) that can be bought in the market near my house to save time. The people I cooked for told me they enjoyed it a lot!

We have prepared this recipe several times now as we love it...have made a few minor adjustments along the way to use mussels instead of clams, cut the red pepper in half and "kick it up a notch" with double the wine and garlic....YUM !!! Oh, we used rice instead of pasta one time too

EXCELLENT!! My husband and I both loved it. Based on other reviews, I left out the tomato paste entirely and it was totally fine without. I also used the canned baby clams, which made that step much easier. It's pretty zingy with 1T of red pepper, so if you're not of brave heart, you might want to decrease that a little bit. I will definitely make this again!!

I tried this dish to make a different sauce for a Sunday sauce and it was great. My daughter loved it and my husband went back for more for the first time in a long time. Thanks for sharing this great dish.

Not great, but okay. I would completely eliminate the tomato paste to this recipe. The dry oregano portion should be cut in half. Also, I would cut the onion portion in half. I think the sauce was a little too sweet as well; therefore, I would reduce or eliminate the sugar also. Consider adding a small amount of cream to the sauce, and also some chopped fresh parsley at the end. The only other suggestion would be a little more white wine than is called for...maybe 3/4 cup instead of 1/2 cup. I hope all of this makes for a better dish.

Outstanding!!! I doubled this recipe and prepared as directed with two changes as suggested by earlier review...substituted two 10 oz. cans of Reese whole baby clams in lieu of steaming clams and used only one can of tomato paste for the entire doubled recipe (1/2 can per). Absolutely marvelous! Have passed this recipe along and will surely prepare again.
