Excellent recipe coming from an Italian raised girl.
I did use the juice that came w/ the clams instead of spending more money on the bottled clam juice.
**I highly recommend trying this and topping the linguine with some of it to add amazing flavor: Heat 2 T olive oil in small saute pan and add 2 cloves minced garlic. Let the garlic get soft then add about 1/3 c. panko (or other breadcrumbs and 1 T minced parsley. Let the breadcrumbs get a bit golden and cook about 2 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle over your serving of linguine with clams.

Probably the best linguini w/ clam sauce recipe I've tried and I've surfed the web for a good one. Did I mention easy too? Robin makes this dish so easy and she hits the nail on the head when she emphasizes to buy and use clam juice in a bottle instead of the juice from the canned clams. Seriously. My previous attempts at this dish tasted like something that washed up on a beach and now I know why. But, not this time. Linguini w/ clam sauce is wonderfully and subtly oily, almost buttery and then the clam taste tops off the dish -- don't know what other reviewers were looking for? Feeling comfortable, I substituted chardonnay for vermouth, skipped the parsley but added fresh lemon zest and fresh grated cheese. Added a few red pepper flakes. Husband enjoyed it -- great meal, inexpensive and terrific leftovers. Thank you for making this so easy for me to make, Robin.

This was a decent pasta dish. My family liked the flavor. Yes, the sauce was a little (ok, a lot thin...hence the missing star.

This recipe is very similar to the way my 100% Italian ex-mother-in-law used to make it. She used good quality canned clams and it tasted great. Some people can be very juvenile when it comes to reviewing recipes, especially the ones who critique how the cook or chef looks! I also know of several authentic Italian restaurants that do not use fresh clams when making this dish. There are very few recipes where I would use canned fish (or meat but in this one it is just fine and tastes great!!

Easy recipe, but didn't taste as good as I had hoped it would. Just not for me. Won't make it again.

This was super quick and easy to make. My whole family, even the picky eaters, loved it! I simmered it for 8 minutes instead of 5 and it wasn't too liquidy at all - just perfect

Loved this recipe. Just added some red pepper flakes. Quick easy and really very good. Husband loved it and son did as well. Love RM. She is fab. We like a little kick with everything and that is why we added the pepper.

This recipe is pretty average, but a good base. It is fairly bland tasting but that's easily remedied by adding red pepper flakes and fresh lemon juice to the sauce. The sauce is runny, but that's how I like it. I made some garlic bread to mop it up. I gave this recipe 4 stars instead of 3 because it is REALLY quick and easy to put together, yet still has a restaurant/gourmet feel to it. You can make this or ramen noodles in about the same amount of time, but ramen noodles will never pass as a gourment dinner, that's for sure.

Let me tell you when I find a recipe the whole family loves I feel very blessed.
I made the Linguine with Clam Sauce tonight for dinner. I have 3 children. Two are pretty easy to please and one is slightly picky. Even my picky eater ate this up and loved it. I'm making the Stuffed Pork Chops tomorrow night from this episode. I know it will be a hit as well.
I used Sweet Vermouth and I used Chicken Stock instead of Chicken broth in the recipe. It was fantastic. Thank you Robin for a great fast and wonderful recipe!
I'm so glad there are cooks like Robin Miller and Ellie Krieger on Food TV to give us fast and healthy dishes. I love Ina too don't get me wrong. I just do those recipes more in moderation a long with Paula Deens. Please keep shows like Robins and Ellie's on Food TV. I'd like to see them more often.

The sauce had very little flavor. My children love plain noodles, so needless to say they loved this recipe. My husband and I were very disappointed.
