Take the thyme to collect the best quality ingredients you can. This recipe is the poster child for "You get out what you put in." I liked it best when i added a little fontina to bind it a little and I sprayed the shells inside with Pam.




This wasn't my favorite

Perhaps I am spoild by all the Italian Resturants in NY. But this wasn't my favorite version of Clams Casino. Friends I tried it out on seemed to like it. But something was missing. Seemed dry to me.




Stupid Question

Do you cook the clams first or shuck them live? On the show it looked like they may have already been cooked.

As long as you have good quality clams, you can't go wrong with this recipe. I couldn't get enough of them. Make sure you don't overcook the clams though.

LOved it!. I love everything Guiada and this one was just as expected! I had no clue how to cook, then while on maternity leave last summer I started watching the food network and trying some things. I became the envy of my fiends and although I do have some Emeril, Rachael & Paula dishes.... Guiada is the one that made me me a good cook. Thank you!

I steamed the clams first, chopped them & added them to mixture. Also drizzled olive oil over them before baking. I made it ahead of time, refrigerated the mixture, filled the clam shells just before cooking and they came out great. Served them x-mas eve as an appetizer and got rave reviews.




Excellent

I made this dish as an appetizer along with many of your recipes, and everyone loved it. I made 30 clams casino and they were gone. I made 4 others appetizers and there were only 6 people total. Thanks again for the tasteful and fullfilling dishes. My guests also thank you.




Needs a little something extra

With all the rave reviews, I was probably expecting too much. These were good, and I loved the festive appearance that the peppers gave it(I used some yellow, orange, and red)... the 500 degree setting worked well cooking the clams through just enough, BUT I think a little shredded mozzerella (or other melting cheese) on top would have given it the boost it seemed to need--rather than just adding more parmesan on top.




very good

To answer the previous question. Any shellfish will become tough if overcooked, so you should not cook these first. Make sure you buy the freshest clams possible. If any are open, tap them. If they close up they are still alive and okay to use, if they don't, discard them. If you are nervous or unsure about how to shuck the clams, you can put them in the freezer until they open slightly (approx. 20-30 min.). This makes shucking them easier. Discard any that do not open after being in the freezer.




wonderful

Great recipe, but take note that on the show she also lined the baking sheet with rock salt over the foil to keep the shells level and she also drizzled the clams with a little olive oil b4 putting them in the oven to keep them moist.

Excellent! Not "bready" (from breadcrumbs) like so many other baked clam recipes. I steam the clams so they open and I know they're cooked. I chop them and mix them with the pancetta - red pepper mixture. I got rave reviews serving them as an appetizer.
