So good. Very easy. I loved it.
Insane recipe. Very easy. Very tasty. I love this recipe. Boooooyaaaah
A little different. Heated a tbs of olive oil in a pan. Added garlic butter, lemon juice, wine,crushed red pepper, onion power. Brought it to a boil. Then added 12 well washed little necks. Covered pan and cooked until little necks open. Done. Added and cheese and parsley.
Yum. Smell permeated kitchen.
I’ve made linguini with clams for years and this is a very good recipe – and easy enough for a novice. Only problem, which a new cook might not notice until it’s too late, is that it calls for 12 little neck clams – that’s only 3 clams per serving. I would use six or more per serving, especially if the clams are on the small side.
I was in the mood for a clam dish so I go online to look one up. I find this one and it was out of this world. Like I was on the beach on the east coast. YUMMY
This dish is second to none and has an amazing mix of flavors.
I have been using foodnetwork for gathering recipes for years. I love this service and find most of the recipes well written. This is not one of them. Even though I am an experienced cook, this recipe was confusing. I was going to re-write it here because I did get it to work and kept notes but, it’s just not worth it. Try Sarah Moultons for a good fresh clam linguini recipe. Don’t waste your time on this one.
Very tasty, but just needs more sauce. I couldn’t get a hold of whole clams, so I used canned ones instead. Still tasted good.
So good I felt like I was on the East Coast again.
You can even add more seafood (ie shrimp) to the recipe! Great easy dish that can be done in no time!
