Great for beginners! I made this for my boyfriend, and he loved it. I added extra clams, but note: It takes a little while to clean the individual clam shells. Totally worth it, though!

I saw Rachel make this and wanted to try it. Been looking for a tasty fun dish to make for company and my Italian Husband. I had to buy 5lbs of little neck clams thats what I found at Costco. I made more pasta and the dish turned out Wonderful. My husbands son was coming over for dinner and we all loved it. The anchovies,crushed red pepper flakes,white wine all added so many flavors. I had fun scrubbing the clams. Since we live in St.Louis I dont see clams often except the ones at the seafood counter for 50 cents apeice in the large supermarkets...so haven't cooked them before.Until Costco. I plan on making this again for my husbands birthday dinner this Fri. witha few friends coming over. My husbands family is from Italy and he loves full flavor or spicy food so he loved this. It was also fun to put on the table no one expects me to serve this kind of pasta! What a delight!! Hot crunchy bread and a large salad that's all we needed . This time I am adding a birthday espresso cheese cake.

I made this exactly per the recipe except for the cherry tomatoes, which I didn't have but I did have some beautiful Roma tomatoes, that I rough chopped to approximate the size of cherry tomatoes. I had never before cooked with (or eaten! an anchovy in my life, however I must say I was pleasantly surprised with the added depth and complexity of the flavor. As well, there was no need for any added salt because of the anchovies. Next time I will probably half the amount of linguine, since its just my husband and I. Another reader said they added in a can of minced clams, and I think I will do that as well. The Little neck clam shells add a lot to the presentation, but I personally would like a little more actual clam in the sauce. My husband LOVED this recipe. We will definitely be making this again!

I made this for a few friends and my husband one night. It was very good. Easy to make, however the sauce did not reduce to well for me. Other than that, it was great! Surprisingly it was even better the next day!

Saw it on tv this week and my mouth was watering. I made it tonight and it was a hit. I used little neck clams because they were on sale. There
were 50 in the bag for $15.00. I cut the linguine down to 1/2 lb. for my husband and myself. We feasted. There was nothing left.

I couldn't get clams so I used shrimp instead. I used some chicken broth and roasted tomatoes for extra moisture. Great dish that you must try.

This recipe was amazingly good, and the first time I had ever cooked clams myself. I used the littleneck clams also because that is what was available. The salad was a fantastic compliment and I was sure to have some good french bread. The only thing I would do differently, would be to remove the clams first to the serving dish and then add the linguini and toss. Too much of the tomatoe and herbs were caught in the clam shells, not distributed throughout the pasta, and the presentation of the clams was difficult...worried that the clams would fall out and hard to set equal portions. All in all this was one of the best dinners I have prepared and super easy.

I love this meal, I saw it today on t.v and went out and got the ingridients. I've never used anchovie before (never ate it before either and it was wonderful brought a level of complexity to a very simple meal. Love it will definitely use again.

Very delicious recipe! I didn't have any fresh clams so I used a can of clam sauce- and I'm glad I did, otherwise the pasta would have been far too dry. Next time I ill definately half the pasta. I also reduced the red pepper flakes to little over 1/4 tsp- it was perfect! And I threw in a can of crabmeat to boot- and some toasted breadcrumbs!
