What a great dish to end the summer. I was very tired of dealing with garden tomatoes. This was a perfect dish to use a lot of tomatoes and still have a delicious dish. I was lucky enough to have all the ingredients on hand so it was even more inviting. My family just raved with this dish and ask if I would make it again. It's a very light dish no heavy creams or sauce.

Very easy, very flavorful. Will become a regular dish in my kitchen. Used 1 teaspoon of dried basil and 1 tablespoon of dried parsley, because I didn't have fresh--still great--will use fresh herbs next time.

There is something about fresh ingredients that make a dish refreshing. I made as written and would not change a thing.

This was a hit in my house - but made pretty much as directed, 3 of us polished it off (over 9 oz. pasta) and my 14yo nephew was still hungry. If you serve 8 with this, you're not getting enough veggies! I used a 14.5-oz can of diced tomatoes instead of fresh (crop failure in my garden this year :-( ) and no salt. And of course cheese on top! A tablespoon or 2 of tomato paste would have been a nice addition to thicken and for added flavor.

Really yummy! I've never made clam sauce with veggies before but I like the color and flavor that it adds! Only thing I changed was using bowtie pasta and cilantro instead of parsley. Of course... served with lots of parm cheese. Thanks for the recipe!!

loved this recipe! I used about 40 real clams that I steamed open so the recipe was sufficiently "clammy". (used the water from steaming instead of canned clam juice)All of the veggies worked really well together and it was a pretty easy recipe to follow. Needless to say my guests were all impressed by this delicious summer meal!

this is a great recipe, and even better with real clams. Use ~ 1 lb. per person, and soak the clams in cold water sprinkled with cornmeal. The clams will 'eat' the cornmeal and spit out any sand, so you are cleaning the clams and also adding a built-in thickener to your sauce.

A nice balance of sweet veggies and spices are delicious with the clams.

Made this for dinner this evening and it was fantastic. Followed the directions, except I used a small can of Italian tomtoes)with basil,garlic,etc) and added 2 tablespoons of tomato paste to thicken the sauce. I also added some fresh asparagus. Served with garic bread. It's a keeper.

Although I didn't follow the recipe exactly, I'm giving it a 4 for versatility. I used ingredients I had on hand, including zucchini and squash instead of carrots and bell pepper. Also, I halved the recipe and used a full can of diced Italian tomatoes in lieu of fresh. I thought the fresh basil made the dish. I will make this again, and will try to find larger clams instead of minced. This tasted better the next day.
