if you love clams and garlic you will love this recipe. I plan to make large quanties for the upcoming superbowl party at the hitchin post in salem oregon.go ravens.

I didn't have any clam broth so I just used 1/4 cup of juice from the canned clams. I also added a 2nd can of clams. The garlic taste was pretty strong but no one that ate it really seemed to care, me included. I will make this again for sure.

Wonderful recipe. Similar to mine but you add the clam broth. Have you tried it hot? It's wonderful topped with parmesan cheese.
