By far, the BEST pasta and shrimp dish I've tasted, and guests all agreed. So easy to make, too. Love the fresh parsley and basil, and the clam juice is the secret ingredient I've never guessed that makes the cream so flavorful for seafood dishes. Hurray! I also added a little flour to thicken, but I think it would have been just as well without.

This recipe was really good. I have hypertension so I only used a little salt when cooking the shrimp. My husband really enjoyed it. I made it for the two of us and we have plenty left over. I used some flour and water to thicken it up a little. It was a little too juicy prior to doing so. I would make this meal again for guest. Next time I will have a salad and garlic bread to accompany this great meal.

We loved this recipe. I watched Giada make it on the talk yesterday. I had most the ingredients it looked easy and with an infant I needed something easy. We had unexpected company and it was perfect. I didn't refer to the recipe while cooking, but looking at it after I had followed the directions pretty well. Love it!!!!

EXCELLENT!!! This is hands down, THE best pasta and shrimp dish ever and I have made it numerous times! As with many reviewers, I do not like people who change the recipe and call it five stars, but I do have to admit that I changed two things. After making it many times, I found myself with no fresh tomatos, so I used canned, petite diced tomatoes and it was just as wonderful!, so I have continued to do so.
When I first started making this dish, I thought the sauce was a little runny and thought I had done something wrong, so I added a bit of corn starch/water mixture and it's perfect every time. I like the sauce to cling to the pasta and not be all in the bottom of the dish.
My entire family absolutely adores this dish and I SO recommend it.

Yummy. Only recommendation is to cook the cream mixture longer to thicken more. I only used a half pound of pasta, so I think a whole pound is too much. I also added sauteed mushrooms. Letting it sit a bit melds the flavors better. Highly recommended.

This recipe is fabulous! I changed a few things, added red pepper, mushroom, and used milk rather than cream (lower fat. I also added a little cornstarch to thicken towards the end. I was nervous about the clam juice, but it really added excellent flavor! This will def be a keeper in my house. Thanks Giada!! Love your recipes!!

This recipe is so so so good. I make it all the time. Everyone loves it. I do put a pinch of tomato paste to the recipe to make the sauce a little thicker.

Delicious!! The whole family enjoyed it, especially my 9 year old daughter. I used crushed tomatoes (a little more than half of a 28oz can instead of whole tomatoes and I let it simmer for 15 min so the sauce can thicken a little. If you think it's still too soupy just add more pasta and cheese.
