Very tasty! I forgot to put the clam juice in it the first time. Very different taste with the clam juice.
Tyler Bowman
Absolutely delicious! I did add about quarter to a half cup of white wine along with a good teaspoon of Better Than Chicken bouillon. I didn’t have a second can of clams so added a little extra bottled clam juice. I also didn’t have the olives. I used a bag of mixed seafood from Trader Joe’s with about a half pound of frozen prawns. This was an amazing dish and I will make it again a lot. Thanks for the recipe!

Love this recipe! It was easy to prepare but tasted like it took hours. The only thing I didn’t have was the crushed tomatoes, but not to worry, I just cut up some grape tomatoes I had and cooked them down in olive oil and a little butter before adding the other ingredients. Also left out the black olives, as my husband doesn’t like them. Will definitely be making this again! Thanks for sharing.

This recipe is super easy and has great flavor. Guests will think you spent hours vs the actual 45 minutes start to finish. It is very close to the traditional offering at Urichio’s in downtown Bakersfield, which is truly outstanding! The main differences being diced tomatoes and calamari rings and tentacles, which I added. Definitely a must-try!!

We loved this just as it is. I usually feel the need to tweak most recipes but this one was right on. Next time I may use a little more red pepper flakes, otherwise no changes.
Sabrina Wright
Loved it. Added one cup of white wine, 12 0z of chicken broth, some basil and an Alaskan must…..King Crab. OMG!!!!
Devin Wood
It was so good! I did go a little heavy handed on the seasonings. I like it a tab bit spicer and I added mussels.
Krystal Perry
Five stars on the base recipe, and five plus on the tweaks! I made as written but added some shallot, more red pepper flake, onion powder, and oregano. Skipped the whole clams and just used minced. I added a tablespoonof sugar to sweeten and cut the acidity, and a splash of heavy cream to blush. Lots of fresh basil too. Yummy, hubs had a record three servings!
Jason Morris
Wonderful balance of flavor, super simple to put together. I used more garlic and crushed red pepper. We only use about 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest. I had a lot more seafood than called for and I am glad I did. Recipe is a little light for us. Fantastic meal we look forward to having again!***update*** We make this every week now – we have added some chicken broth, about 14 ozs, and a cup of white wine. The addition of a few tablespoons chopped fresh parsley and fresh basil take this straight to the top of our favorite recipes list. We are now perfectly pleased with the recipe.
Anthony Baldwin
Wow, this was delicious and very easy to prepare!
Dr. Bruce Hogan
Loved it enough to make it for friends tonight. I will increase the scallops, decrease the clams, add crab and toss some mussels on the side. The best recipes are the ones you can play with.

Loved this! We live down in the islands so it’s a little difficult to get ingredients/tools, and we are gluten free so we had to make a few changes. We used brown rice penne instead of linguine to make it a little healthier. Added onions and extra garlic. Omitted the black olives and added extra wine and lemon juice (no zest) with less oil. Used tilapia instead of scallops and two fresh tomatoes plus 1 ounce sundried tomatoes instead of canned. Also took advice and used larger shrimp. It was delicious.
Michael Sanchez
We give this 4 1/2 stars. It had a little bite to it which was nice. Looking forward to having leftovers tomorrow as I hear it tastes better after sitting overnight.
Jessica Smith
Very tasty but a little on the lemon-y side. As typical with red sauce – the dish actually tasted better when it was reheated!
Mariah Dunn
This was alright. I made it as directed, but it was bland and needed a lot of doctoring. I probably tripled the seasonings, and added 1/2 cup white wine. I like the idea of this recipe, but I’ll keep looking.
Kimberly Green
This tasted even better than our favorite Italian Restaurant makes it. I added extra garlic and a lot of fresh basil and parsley in addition to the Italian Seasoning. I reduced the lemon zest to 1 teaspoon and left everything else the same. Thanks!!
Michael Molina
Simple recipe. Flavor was lacking.
Christina Dodson
This recipe was really nice. I loved it. It was just a tiny bit bland, but other than that, the taste was perfect. I saved some as well, so I just heated it up to eat it again. Wonderful recipe! I didn’t substitute anything..
Thomas Bernard
added red wine, just clams and lots of garlic-yum
Adrienne Baker
This was good and quick. I did not have scallops so I increased the clams and shrimp. I added mushrooms, diced tomato and a few good splashes of wine. Since this was a last minute dinner I had to use what I had on hand, so I used marinara in place of the puree. Next time I will probably add a small amount of tomato paste and will make sure I have scallops. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Mark Rogers
We really enjoyed this recipes, but doctored it up a bit. Doubled the amount of seafood and the red pepper. Even the kids loved it!
