Delicious! I was a little skeptical at first, that this dish would have enough flavor, but it was wonderful! I made some substitutions, based on what I had on hand: I used regular fettuccine since my store did not carry spinach kind, and I added 1/2 C. clam juice to give it more clam flavor, used dried thyme and oregano, I drizzled it with a little olive oil at the end and topped it with parmesan cheese. It turned out wonderful! and I was surprised at how much it made- 5 huge servings! Definitely a dinner staple in my home, thanks Robin!

Great recipe... I did substitute white wine for the chicken broth and added more tomatoes. My family loved it!

The only change I made was I added white wine after the shallots and garlic had sauteed and I added about a cup of chopped parsley at the very end---that is the way that my family made this dish when I was growing up. But, I'd have to say this was much better than mu family's original recipe! Really great if you love clams, and feeds alot of people!
