Fine Recipe however, no self-respecting Italian, whether he be from Liguria, Venizea, or Compania, would use linguine with clams nor would he put cheese on it. Amercians need to get over themselves that spaghetti is just for kids and prolitarites.
Tweeking recipes is what cooking is all about. Try the spaghetti and have fun with it!

this recipe was much easier than i thought, not intermediate level as posted (and i am a beginner. i have made this a few times and now add 2 shallots, 2 cans of minced clam with its juice and more garlic total 9 cloves. due to varying size of clams, i set aside in a bowl the clams that opened to prevent overcooking them then. my mother-in-law loves this dish and requests it again and again. thanks, Chef Tyler!

All around tasty, but tweaked. I was making for 2, so halved the recipe, but added more garlic [+30-50% more], a touch more red pepper, and a squeeze or two more lemon [one during the clams and one at the end when tossing]. We also replaced the bread crumbs with toasted panko and added parm and a little mo re lemon at the end. Served with garlic cheese bread and a butter leaf lettuce salad with a white balsamic and shallot vinaigrette.

Thanks, Tyler; another great one.
Very tasty. Did a "JT's Test Kitchen" tonight for an upcoming dinner for a friend who says he's truly craving llinguine with white clam sauce. Made this for 2 but didn't reduce the amount of sauce. I also added one can of minced clams to the sauce. Next time: 2 cans of clams in addition to the cockles (very nice!!!...and will increase the garlic to 5 cloves. HOWEVER - this was very flavorful and easy....and now...I'm prepared and will be a bit faster for the next go round. Folks...you know you always need to adjust spices to your own taste.

Wonderful recipe. My friends were suitably impressed with my "Tyler's" recipe. I did add a little more garlic and canned baby clams, but who's counting. Everytime i need a guranteed recipe, i go straight to Tylers page and i am never dissapointed. Thanks Tyler!

I used a few more cloves of garlic but otherwise didn't change the recipe at all. So quick and easy, but a good homemade meal in minutes. Great when clams are sweet, briny and perfect!

This was a fabulous meal in itself but I did a couple things different:
First, depending on the size of your cloves, I upped the garlic. Since not all cloves are big, I used three big ones and three littlek ones.

I threw in two cans of minced clams to make it more economical, using the broth of one can, throwing out the other. (don't need it because of the fresh clam juice

I bought littleneck clams--and a little over a pound for two people. Cost around 6 bucks and I got 6 clams. If I ever made this for a dinner with guests I'd go by counting the clams per person as one reviewer suggested instead of going by pounds. The shells are heavy and take up a lot of space.

Other than that, as usual, Tyler's right on the mark with his recipes!

I made this for the first time for a small gathering of 4 people and the flavor was good, but I think the next time I make it I'm going to use A LOT more garlic and at least another pound of clams for the gathering of 4. It didn't feel like there were enough clams per person. It was more like an appetizer portion. I also suggest toasting some garlic on the side and then adding it on top. Oh and I also shred some fresh Pecorino Romano cheese and allowed everyone to put as much as they'd like over top and the dish was delicious! (just needed a little more clam for me :

Made this last night and it was a hit. I didn't sliver the garlic but chopped fine and I didn't use the bread crumbs. Came out so good. Will definitely use this recipe again.
