I made this tonight and doubled the recipe. It fed 6 hungry people. I was worried because it was my first time cooking clams and I spent $100 just on clams. I was also worried because there was no back up if the recipe didn’t work out. IT WORKED. Very easy no fail recipe. Impressive too

Tried this a while back for family who love clams with linguine. We made it exactly as written but did the following—removed clams before adding cream; divided clams over cooked linguine and ladled the sauce over the whole thing. One of the best meals we’ve ever had. Served also with the crusty bread. No such thing as too many carbs! Well, at least not every day. Fantastic!

Making this tonight for two people. Should I just halve every?

Yes you can. This is a very forgiving dish so you can change quantities as you see fit. Or you can up the sausage or clams slightly, it's still going to work just fine.

This was fantastic! I will def make again because it will be a crowd-pleaser. I actually didn't have tarragon and just used a ton of basil instead and came out great, I will def make a again with tarragon. I thought that the broth was fantastic and a tad bit too sweet (but again, might be because I didn't use tarragon). I also used a sweet sausage and will make again with a more spicy/savory kind to balance out the sweetness of the broth. Totally amazing and SO easy!

If you want to cut the sweetness, use all dry white wine instead of the Muscat. I did this and it was still AMAZING!

Made this for the Fam the other night and it was a HIT. Everyone agreed that we should put this in " The Rotation ". I also found it to be a relatively easy to execute plus, plus, plus. Make sure to have a good bottle of white wine and some crusty bread and you are sure to have a fantastic dinner.

I'm making these tomorrow so I can't leave a review, but I can tell you about the best way to purge clams of sand that I have ever found. This is it

Ngao 2 coi là một trong những món hải sản rất ngon, bổ dưỡng và có giá khá phù hợp. Công thức chế biến món ngao cũng khá là đơn giản. Và công thức nấu món ngao biển bạn chia sẻ đã thực sự giúp ích cho tôi rất nhiều. Nếu bạn nào muốn thưởng thức tay nghề của tôi hãy ghé đến hải sản Hải Âu nhé.

I ordered this at a fancy restaurant in a college town. Thought 1 dozen clams would never be enough but it was soooo good. I guessed at what was in it and made it a couple days later. I first steamed the clams, so I had that wonderful broth and I mixed it in with just about all of the ingredients you have. It was just wonderful and yes I had some left over for the next day. Great recipe.

Made this a few times and it's a big hit. DH not into cream sauce so I add some butter instead. It's still delicious and bread dipping worthy.

This dish is one of my favorites, just amazing. The broth is heavenly with some crusty bread.

Can I make this without the sausage, my husband is vegetarian and this sounds great except for that.

I love this recipe. I inadvertantly sent it as I was attempting to download & print the recipe. Kudos to Queen Sashy for a wonderful dish. I cannot, & do not, take credit for the recipe, but I have taken a lot of credit for a great dish whenever I make it.

Delicious! Who knew that clams were so perfect for dinner parties. Pretty affordable, little effort to make, fun to eat, and present beautifully. I made this recipe last night and it was a big success. My husband requested that me make this dish more often.

Flavors even better the next night - made it into a pasta dish and it was fantastic.

Could I add mussels with clams and simply cook together? I dont eat shellfish but want to make this as part of an entree spread for a casual dinner party.

Congrats on being a finalist, QueenSashy! I've learned recently that clams steamed in a flavorful broth are one of my favorite things to eat and your version sounds outstanding. I can't wait to enjoy it.
