I have made this pasta at least 10 times. I just lost the paper and decided to see if they still had it on line. It’s delicious, and I made it with whatever green vegetable I had at hand. The sauce is particularly tasty. Once I had no clam sauce so I used vegetable sauce and it wasn’t as good. But I will be making this dish for a long time to come. It’s become one of my staples. I’ve also changed the fish I use too.

Thank you for keeping it on line.

The end result of this recipe is quite good, but it is very poorly written. The list of ingredients is incomplete (snow peas?), and the instructions could be clearer.
