Okay, So i have to admit.... I was a little hesitant to make this... I mean how good can these ingredients really be thrown in together??? well, It's freaken awesome!!! nice light meal! Loved it, Will certainly make again! -
YUM!! Made this for the family tonight, and it was a hit with everyone! My husbands eyes widened with the first bite, and my 3 yr old nearly licked his bowl clean. I can't wait to make this again! Modifications (which I hate to do trying a recipe for the first time...) I used shallots instead of vidalia onion (because I didn't know what that was), and I added a red pepper. Next time I'll add asparagus too! -
Living in Savannah, we usually have clams readily available, but last night the only thing they had at the local grocer was mussels. This sauce was just as fabulous with mussels instead of clams. Way to go!

My husband has high standards when it comes to clam sauce. After dinner he told me this recipe is better than his father's clam sauce-which is a HUGE compliment. Will be making again soon! Easy and inexpensive. Modification: I used onion powder instead of onion and I added black olives when I was frying the tomato.

<p>I grew up in Niagara Falls Ontario and I was the youngest of 8 children. My mother cooked very plain and for stretching a budget. But she had a few dishes that she made that were fantastic and very tough to duplicate. I learned to cook on my own when I went away to school. <br />These days I live in Whitby Ontario, a small town of about 110,000 that is east of Toronto. I live with my wife Donna and our two great kids, Darby and Scott. <br />I like recipes that are not so complex that they take away the fun of cooking. I don't like a lot of preparation. I love to fill the house up with mouth watering aromas. I do the majority of the cooking at home mostly because I like doing it.</p>
