I chose to make this dish for my stepsons birthday dinner. He thanked me so many times for making this for him. Compliments like this says it all. I will be making this dish again for my family and friends. 10 stars.

I knew I would love these, but I really really love these clams!! Clams are one of my favorites foods! The prosciutto really adds a great, salty taste. And yes, you need to serve this with some crusty bread because the sauce is awesome! Great recipe! Thanks!!!!

Fantastict! I just made this for my family. It's a great recipe I added more garlic because we love it, and I just kinda poured in wine till my spirit told me to stop lol. I love how quick it was to make, it's an excellent 30 minute or less meal. If you love clams you should definetly try this. Next time i'll remeber to buy the parsely when I get my clams.

Awesome! Made this on a whim because the clams looked great and we were having people over. Turns out, I didn't have parsley, but used cilantro and basil instead...fabulous! All but a couple of the kids loved them, even the newbie (to clams). I would suggest using a little more wine so that there is a little more sauce to go around.
