simple, easy and delicious. Sometimes I will add a can of white clam sauce and extra wine. Versatile.

Definitely the best clam sauce. It was a bit salty but my hubby said he liked it like that better. He finished it all and kept fighting me over the left over. He said it was better than Amici's

The only thing I added to this was red pepper flakes. It's so good that I don't order white wine clam sauce at restaurants anymore. They never live up to this one.

Used 2 cans clams with all of their juice. Used at least half cup of wine.

This lives up to its name!! I did modify it only slightly. I used whole baby clams which I added in for the last 4 minutes of cooking, they will be extremely tough after id you cook them the whole 20 minutes. I did drain half the juice as directed & ended up grabbing a bottle of clam juice & using half of it, next time I simply will reserve all the liquid. I didnt have white wine, so I used cooking sherry. Red wine vinegar will also work just as well for an emergency white wine substitution. Finally I used thin linguine & topped with asiago (which is a much better choice than parmesan for a dish like this). This was outstanding a new family favorite!

I'm giving this recipe 5 stars b/c I thought that it was absolutely delicious. My husband is not a big fan of seafood, though, and didn't like it. He said that there were too many clams in the recipe.

This basic recipe is VERY GOOD. As many other have noted, it is a great and very safe place to begin. My modifications include: Using at least 50% Boiled Baby Clams as opposed to the minced or chopped clams. Fresh is perfectly OK too. I hold the clam 'meat' until near the end as it can become tough if cooked beyond warming. Many folks suggests some pepper flakes and I too use them, but this is a very personal thing! As a whole, the basic recipe needs more FLAVOR so I often add SMALL AMOUNTS of an herb or two - do not over do it! THis is CLAM SAUSE not (whatever herb). Reducing the butter is OK but some volume adjustment is necessary, just to have enough sauce. More wine, with reduction is one optioin. For those who won't use wine a little chicen broth is OK - if necessary. I generally use more garlic but that too is a persoinal taste thing. Reducing the sauce from "Broth+With" to a real "Sauce" is probably the most important part. If it is not reduced to a thicker state, it will not stick to the pasta - which is why we have Sauce in the first place. A great starter recipe and similar to my basic - for years. Thanks to the young woman (and her Mom) for sharing this.

This recipe was a great starting point. I added some white pepper, red pepper flakes, and some oregano and basil. I also cut down on the butter as others suggested. But, make sure you make less noodles if you cut down on the butter brecause you'll have less sauce. I used little neck clams instead of canned ones and they tasted amazing when I let them steam in the sauce. This recipe is super easy and tastes good!

I made this for dinner and my husband and our guest thought the pasta was okay. I am really rating this a 3.5/5. It tasted pretty bland, even with the addition of pepper flakes and more wine.

This recipe is pretty good, but not great. I think it needed a lot more wine for more flavor. Half the butter and lots of fresh chopped parsley would make it a lot better. Next time I'll try a different recipe.

I enjoyed this and it is a great quick meal. I used three cans of clams (were on sale 3 for $5). Also added half an onion, chopped, some Old Bay, and some red pepper flakes. I will make this again for sure.

This was my first time making a clam sauce and my guy and I who are small eaters ate close to all of it! Really good! I used chopped clams instead of minced, I added 6-8 quartered mushrooms and didn't add the clams or mushrooms until the last few minutes. And of course lots of red pepper flakes :)

I LOVED this recipe and so did my hubby. :) The only thing I did was add some shrimp and basil. I cut back on the butter though for calorie reasons. This is a keeper..

Delicious!! I tossed the liguini and sauce together in the large skillet under low heat before serving so the sauce soaked into the pasta. I topped it with fresh parsley and lemon juice, will definately make again soon!
