Have been cooking a long time and have never made a pasta dish this good. I have made it many times always to rave reviews. Even cheated and used canned clams. Delicious!!

You are gilding the lily with the spices. Only needs the garlic, the heat, a little anchovy for salt and a couple of tablespoons of tomato sauce.

I just wanted to say, this has become an absolute favorite of mine! I make it often, and it never disappoints. Thanks so much for this delicious, reliable recipe!

I just made this recipe with half the jalapeño and half the crushed red pepper and it was still too spicy. I am a spicy food lover, but to me, it's a shame to cover up the delicate flavor of the clams with too much spicy heat. The predominant flavors (again even with having used half of the the called for spicy ingredients) were pepper and sausage. The clam was sadly buried.

How did I miss this 2 years ago? It is my favorite pasta to order - now I will make it. Your photography has come so far in 2 years, yes? Congrats!

Thanks Liz. You likely missed it because of my sucky photo :-). These were the days before I had a camera, and Myles was out of town for something that he just had to take his camera to. So my fuzzy, dark photo was taken with an old cell phone (pre-iphone). I figured it was better than nothing, but I'm still not sure about that :-).

Yum! I love linguine with clams and this version looks beautiful! I love the addition of sausage, it's like pasta surf and turf!

Linguine con Vongole is one of my favorite, hard to resist on the menu, dishes as well! I'll have to try your rendition the next time I'm home alone.
