Quick and easy, and tasty! I added a sprinkle of red pepper flakes ~ Tagged for Fall Rookie Tag due 09/16.

This was really delicious and very easy. I expected my kids to whine about eating it but they loved it and asked for seconds. My only word of caution is don't add extra salt, it is pretty salty as is.

Loved, loved, loved this! This is so easy to prepare and it's quick to cook up..I always seem to have most of the ingredients on hand. I like that the mushrooms give this a meaty texture and the clams give you the chewiness needed to satisfy the taste buds. I made just a few changes, I deceased the amount of linguine to 3 oz per person and used butter instead of margarine. This is a keeper, thanks for posting. Made for Spring PAC 2011.

This was a very nice quick meal. The recipe was reduced by half and provided 2 very nice servings. The recipe calls for both margarine and olive oil but the directions are only for the margarine. I used olive oil with a touch of butter to brown the mushrooms and garlic. With a tossed salad this made a wonderful weeknight meal.
