This is the perfect delicious, quick meal. I've made it twice now, and the whole family gobbles it up. This time I took a chance and added just a spoonful of pesto to the mix (despite my DW skepticism) and it was a nice twist. Thanks!

This is a fantastic clam sauce! Not so complicated that you lose the clam flavor, like a lot of recipes. I made almost double the sauce, as I didn't want to waste any yummy clam juice! Even my 4 year old loved this, after I explained that the "chicken" wasn't chewy, it was clams... 
Made with Anme's garlic knots off this site. Fantastic meal, and thanks so much for sharing. I will definitely make this again.

Being Italian on Christmas Eve I serve the traditional fish dinner. I lost my grandmothers recipe for Linguini with Clam Sauce and nearly panicked until I realized I would most likely find one on Recipezaar that I could prepare for tonight. My grandmothers recipe had white wine in it, but I decided to make yours for tonight and followed the recipe to a T (although I doubled it)...Delicious! Thanks for posting this amazing recipe! It's going to be a Hit tonight! (I made ahead thinking it would save on time and your recipe is so quick and easy I probably didn't have to make it ahead...YUMMY!)

YUMMO!! I used thin spaghetti. Asiago cheese and a splash of white wine in the sauce. Leftovers are a wonderful lunch. Great simple dish with ingredients I usually keep on hand. Thanks Pretty Girl for posting.
