I enjoyed this recipe but the next time I make it I will definitely use much less oil and more garlic. It also works well with prawns instead of clams.

this was surprisingly fantastic. i say this because the inside of a can of clams isn't that appealing. when i told my husband what i was making he said, 'i don't think i like that.' well, he gobbled it right up, along with my 21-month-old. i couldn't believe it. i only used 1/2 a pound of spaghetti, so i cut the oil down to 1/8 cup, 2 TBSP butter, 4 cloves of garlic, 1 15 oz can of chopped clams, and about half the juice, along w/half of the spices. awesome. next time, i'll include some bread to sop up all the juicy goodness.

Yum! Followed directions from Sept 2008 review. I added a little less than 1/4 cup olive oil and very little butter. Added fresh parsley, basil and chopped fresh shrimp and chopped fresh clams so they wouldn't get "rubbery". I like that it's a little creamy when you add flour and cream.

This recipe was wonderful. I added more garlic and cut down on the olive oil. Next time I will cut down even more on the oil but other than that it was great. Thanks for the recipe!

This was delicious. Although, I have to admit to changing the recipe after reading almost all of the reviews, and looking at a few other recipes. The compilated recipe follows: 1/4 c. butter, 2 T. flour, 5-6 large garlic cloves minced, 1 T. dried parsley, 1/4 tsp. dried oregano, 1/4 tsp. dried basil, 1/4 tsp. black pepper, red pepper flakes-optional-to taste-pinch, 1/4 c. olive oil, 1/4 c. white wine, 2(6.5 oz) cans minced clams in juice, 1/4 c. whipping cream, 1 lb. linguine, Romano or Parm. for sprinkling on top. Melt butter in deep saute pan. Add flour and spices, combine well. Add olive oil, wine, and juice from clams. Simmer over low heat until well combined and reduced a bit. Cook noodles. Right before adding cooked noodles to sauce add the minced clam meat and whipping cream to sauce--this keeps clams from getting rubbery. Toss well to coat. Serve with grated cheese. Made for anniversary dinner. Easy, impressive looking, wonderful!

Very disappointed. I followed this recipe to the "T" and was very excited... but it did not turn white or anything near that color. it was watery/soupy and clear. i'm not sure what i could've done differently to fix it.

We love this recipe! My girls love to use Fresh Clams (we live in WA State) and they "have" to add cooked, diced bacon to the top and eat it with grilled French Bread. Thanks for the recipe!!!

I tried it the 'tweaked' way. 1/4cup oil, 1/4 butter, 1/4 wine. I added both cans minced clams with juices. It was amazing with some parmigiana sprinkled on top. It looked and smelled fancy, but was simple!

I added the extra cans of clams as suggested and had way too many clams for both my boyfriend and I. Neither of us were really interested in the leftovers.

Wow - this was good! I took some of the other reviews suggestions and did the following: cut the oil in half - used 1/4 cup of white wine instead, lightens the oily taste, minced 5 cloves of garlic. Slipped in a few LIGHT shakes of red pepper flakes - be careful - this added A LOT of flavor. Also, I did not prepare sauce in a small sauce pan, but a large deep saucepan, once the Spaghetti was al dente, I drained it and transferred it all to the sauce, cooked it altogether for 2 minutes and removed. Don't let the clam sauce cook too long, the clams will come out rubbery.

This was pretty good! Per other reviews, I cut the olive oil down to 1/4 cup, and upped the butter to 1/4 cup. I also used 2 10 oz. cans of baby clams. I used all the juice from the first can, but drained the second. We had leftovers, so I poured the remaining clam juice over the leftovers, since I knew the pasta would dry out a bit. Because I doubled the clams, the spices were a bit bland, and I ended up adding seafood spice to taste. This is still a pretty bland recipe, but not too greasy (the way I made it). I think I would double the amount of fresh garlic next time. Also, I don't have dried parsley, and I didn't have fresh, so I used some fresh basil (about 1/4 cup chopped) from the garden, which gave it a really nice subtle basil flavor. My husband liked it, which is saying something because he only likes pasta with marinara sauce! I will definitely make this again, and thanks for the heads up that this can be greasy with the 1/2 cup oil!

This was very good, I liked it better than ready made because it is less oily. I served it with parmesan topped garlic bread. Thanks for the recipe.

This is a wonderful recipe, but a little to greasy. I think I might try a little less olive oil and a little more clam juice the next time around. Excellent recipe. Thank you!!
