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.
