Okay, last night was the 4th time I made this dish, since it aired! And I have to say it is not only simple and such a joy to prepare, the combination of the different flavors just go together like a symphony!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this simple dish. I am so sad, that we will not be able to enjoy more of Michelles, yummy dishes!! Does anyone, know a way we can get more of her delicious and fun recipes??

It was ok. A little too salty for my taste. Omit the salt step as the clams and sasuage are pretty salty to begin with.
Another clove of garlic would be delicious as well.
Very easy to prepare.

This was a very easy dish to prepare, but we did not care for it as much as some of the other recipes we've tried which are very similar. Although I did not vote for Michelle, I would love to see a show about New England and fresh seafood.
