Very good base recipe. I did make a few changes. I couldn't see using chicken broth when I had clam juice just sitting there. Tossed that in and added a little white wine. - 14 May 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I have been searching for an excellent creamy clam sauce to rival those in restaurants for years. This is it! In my house we call it heart-attack pasta, but it is worth it! - 15 Jul 2002 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
It was easy and I didn't take that long as stated on the recipe. You can save some steps and it still very good! - 28 Mar 2011 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
