  1. I make a thin roux with the butter and oil first or the sauce is too funny. I add grated lemon rind, lemon pepper and dill. I make this every Christmas Eve. This is something my family looks forward to every year.
     
  2. This was the yummiest white clam sauce I have ever had, too!! However, if you're a saucy person, there might not be enough for your tastes, you might even consider doubling the recipe. For example, I followed the recipe exactly, and it gave barely enough sauce for two people; the recipe says it's for four. This is easily fixed though, it tastes delicious, and that's what counts!
     
  3. The sauce did not come out creamy. Used 4 cans of clams (6.5oz ) The liquid was about about 2cups. Was this too much. I followed the instructions. When you simmer do I leave it at medium heat or lower the temperature?

  5. I have never really tried my hand at cooking before and not only is this recipe completely simple to follow, it doesn't take long and it is incredibly delicious! I followed it exactly and loved every bit of it!<br/>Thank you so much, Marie! You are the reason I joined food.com!
