  1. I love this recipe and make it on a regular basis! I always keep a few cans of clams in my cupboard and use milk instead of cream so the ingredients are always in my house. It's quick to make - boiling the water and cooking the pasta takes me longer than making the sauce. It's great when I'm in a hurry or when I haven't been to the grocery store for a while!
     
  2. very good, and easy to make.
     
  3. Great linguine vongole! If you enjoy a rich & creamy Alfredo-like sauce loaded with clams, you will enjoy this recipe. I added a pinch of red pepper flakes once the onion & garlic softened & I made sure to cook the flour, salt & pepper for a couple of minutes to get rid of the floury taste. I added in the clam & half & half mixture & with constant whisking it got very thick in about 6 minutes. Everything was done over medium heat. I added some steamed little neck clams for garnish along with some some freshly chopped basil & parsley & some grated parmesan. This is definitely a restaurant caliber pasta sauce, great with a simple green salad & glass of wine!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and was born in Esterhazy Saskatchewan. I am in the Food &amp; Beverage industry and have been for over 22 years. I love to cook, but I would not call myself a "Chef". While I'm not good at creating recipes, I can take a recipe and tweak it or improve on it. I would have to say that I'm a self taught cook as my Mother never had time to really teach me. I would just watch her and figured it out on my own. I have collected 1000's of recipes (lots from here on Zaar) from cookbooks, clippings, pamphlets, you name it. <br />I like to read (favorite author is Jackie Collins), watch movies, trying to figure out how computers work and like to surf the net. Although I can stay in the background for months and not say anything, I'm always here on Zaar. It's a great site to be involved with. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/8352/saladtl5.gif" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/7688/salad8dw5ck0.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/3374/rolls2is3ue8.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/2480/fork2tp6cl6.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/1376/lobster6cz0.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/8659/crabburger1yu0.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/308/crab1lh8.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/604/app398896002838932ml0k.gif" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/8537/172478p.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/8280/149980p.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/1571/dessert18li2bz8da5ds4.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/26/chocolates2qi2.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/2734/foodsoy7.gif" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/9931/sweets1il3.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/8642/drinks1.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img398.imageshack.us/img398/7087/drinks2ji0zk3.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img76.imageshack.us/img76/9346/1858887vvr6dlsowm.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/3972/8ebmqtttm2.gif" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><a href="http://easyhitcounters.com/stats.php?site=carmen782" target="_top"><img src="http://beta.easyhitcounters.com/counter/index.php?u=carmen782&amp;s=apple" border="0" alt="Free Web Site Counter" hspace="4" vspace="2" align="middle" /></a></p>
