Just made this! So good. Of course I altered it a little. But so good! And easy!
Super easy recipe and taste great. I leave the butter out of the recipe and use whole grain noodles to make it a little healthier for my liking. Personally I’ll be using 2 cans of clams from now on since I like a lot of meatiness to my meals.
I added more tomatoes and garlic. I will definitely make it again.
I do not cook much but this recipe has worked really well even with some adjustments. I have only used 1/4 Cup of olive oil, 6 cloves of garlic, 1 can of diced tomatoes (instead of fresh), 1 can of clams with juice plus 4 fresh clams per person, and 3 little Thai chilli pepper (cut). I followed the instruction as it is but added the fresh clams together with the canned calm. Cover and let it simmer. So delicious!!
My wife and I enjoyed it
One of my favourite recipes! Delicious!!
I’ve made this at least a dozen times; I’m finally reviewing it! So tasty!!!
It was very delicious. I didn’t have fresh tomatoes but I had a can of Hunt’s no salt diced tomato. Somehow the pasta turned out sweet tasting. I cooked the linguine according to the instruction on the package. It was not 3 minutes; more like 12 minutes. Except for the confusion of the pasta cooking time, it was an excellent recipe. I will cook this at least every other week. So simple to make and so delicious.
Always delicious. Be generous with garlic, parsley and other spices. A favourite of my daughter’s.
I don’t like to cook but this was a hit! Will probably try some of the alterations suggested to reduce fat, but glad I found original recipe yesterday.
This was really good and easy to make. Also, the ingredients are inexpensive and really come together well in the dish. I’m going to make this again and again with and without the clams. The house smelled good, too! Two minutes into cooking, my husband said “THAT SMELLS GOOOOD!” Thank you for this recipe. I made it just as listed.
Yum! Okay, I have to say that the recipe threw me a little. There’s a saucepan and then a skillet shows up and pasta never returns after being cooked al dente. Despite my confusion – and minus tomatoes because I don’t like them – I threw this together and it is so good! Except for the tomatoes, I didn’t waiver from the recipe. Cooked everything but the pasta in a saucepan (first the sauce and then after the clams, cheese) and then tossed it in a bowl with the linguine. KEEPER!
the ammount of parsley called for was WAY too much…overpowered everything. This recipe would be fine if you used about 1/4th of the ammount parsley and oil called for.
Classic seafood pasta. Loved it, but skipped the tomatoes because of picky eaters in my house.
Really tasty…not fishy at all and i followed the recipe as it was.
I make this all the time and my 4 children beg for it. You can use can clam I use fresh also I add olives and fresh lemons.
Awesome recipe. Did as some of the other reviews said and reduced butter to 1/2 stick and added 1/4 cup white wine.
I made this as written except that I halved the oil and skipped the parmesan. It was very good and had a very strong, fishy flavor. It was also very easy and fast to cook.
Excellent recipe. Some minor alterations that worked out really well: Half the oil and butter, add another tomato and even use yellow and orange or green tomatoes for color, double the parsley, chopped asparagus added in just before the clams (depending on how thick your asparagus is), forget the clam juice and add white wine instead, half a bouillon cube, and freshly ground black pepper. Enjoy!
Hard to push pasta on Mexicans…but once tasted always complimented. We get fresh (chocolate)clams out of the bay of conception. The problem with the clams is that they do not take to refrigeration well and die. Sometimes our varied version is with a few deep fried clams on top…..chomp chomp, chew chew goood!
Excellent! I didn’t have fresh tomatoes, but I used canned diced tomatoes and it was still fantastic.
