This recipe is incredibly quick and simple. A favorite of mine. My children also adore it. Nevertheless, on occasion I use 1.5 pounds of noodles. You can also use fettuccine. Tastes much better when paired with a garden salad and freshly baked French bread or rolls. Pour yourself a beautiful glass of red wine to celebrate the great occasion.

Easy and delicious!
This was absolutely delicious. Will
I halved the butter. Still delicious.
Made this for dinner the other night. Even our picky son loved it. Super flavorful. I let it sit about 5 mins after I poured on the sauce to let the pasta soak it up. I was great and we will definitely have it again.
Wonderful! Tasty and quick to prepare. I did double the amount of clams and garlic.
It was quick and easy to make! Very tasty as well!
This is a great recipe!!! However you should not cook canned clams for so long. It makes them rubbery. Add them in last second just to warm them.
I bought a package of frozen, already cooked clams in their shells, from Wild Fork Foods. It was so simple to make and her looks so elegant. This was a great recipe and I’ll make it again!
My family loves this dish! Made just as written however doubled the garlic! Thank you, this recipe definitely will be a keeper in my house.
This was delicious and a quick and easy recipe. Next time I will not use as much pasta, and I used 3 cans of chopped clams.
Wow!! I can’t believe how easy and DELICIOUS this seriously was!!! I will absolutely be making this again & again.
I made it many times and my whole family loved it.
The only change I made was a third can of clams, partially drained, based on reviews. This is a fabulous dish. I rarely give 5 stars on the first try but this recipe was worth it!
I made half the recipe and adjusted it a little by adding old bay seasoning that another reviewer mentioned, garlic salt, and cornstarch to thicken up the sauce. It was delicious! I’ve been looking for a white sauce pasta recipe for awhile.
Excellent even without mushrooms. I added onions, more garlic, a small amount of red pepper. So easy
My kids and I LOVED IT!! They said it tasted like The Olive Garden. I doubled the recipe, added 2 pounds of clams in the shells, and white wine. It was delicious!!
Love this! I made a few changes like others have suggested: Near double garlic 1/4 c white wine 1/4c olive oil (instead of vegetable) 1/4t dried basil 1/4t lemon pepper Shaved cheese I sauteed the garlic in 2tb butter until fragrant and starting to become golden, added the dried basil and some parsley, and the remaining butter until melted. I added the wine and simmered, clams (with juice) and simmered, then olive oil. I added a little shaved cheese, and some premade roux to thicken, and then pasta water until desired consistency. Would DEFINITELY make this again!
It was very good – I used vegan butter, diced onion instead of mushrooms (what I had on hand) and added some white wine
I made this exactly as the recipe states, minus the mushrooms (only because I didn’t have them available). It is the best version I’ve tried so far for linguine with clam sauce!
Surprised by the great flavor without white wine in the sauce. Easy, quick and delicious. A trifecta!
Excellent!
