Old-fashioned Linguine with White Clam Sauce

I made this for a special romantic dinner for me and my husband. Very delicious and surprisingly easy to make. The pepper flakes were an added twist. We both thought we were dining in a classy restaurant. Thanks Maine-iac.

This was excellent! Pasta with clam sauce is a treat I seldom get to enjoy, as my family doesn't much like clams. I divvied the recipe by 3 and had a generous solo dinner with this -- something I will definitely repeat next time I'm dining by my lonesome. This was very easy to prepare, used ingredients I had on hand, and was ready in minutes. The only alteration I made was to omit the onion (my onion looked way past its prime so I left it out); I also used fresh basil and parsley, rather than dried, since I have fresh herbs growing right now. Thanks for the recipe; it's a keeper!

This was great. the flavor is really mild but tasty. It was super easy, which is always great for me! I used half chopped clams and half fancy baby clams. I went for the baby clams because I thought it would be better. Next time I'll stick with the chopped clams. The chopped clams are chewier which the think the dish needs. Overall, just a plain great dish! Thanks Maine-iac....

This recipe turned out so well! I think the Old Bay really made the difference; I also liked how spicy it was. This is the linguine with clam sauce I will be making from now on. Thanks for sharing!

OMG! I was a little skeptical about the Old Bay Seasoning but this recipe ROCKS! I didn't change anything except that I doubled it. Kids and BF agree... this is a keeper! Thanks!

I've made this dish 3-4 times now and we really enjoy it. I gave it four stars because I wish the sauce was just a tad bit thicker so it would stay on the pasta more. I added some alfredo sauce to the dish and that made it creamer & thicker. Thanks so much for posting =0)

Tasty and Easy! 4 stars because ds and i liked it and finished ours but dh didn't care for it much and left half. I halved the recipe and used 8 oz pasta and 1 10oz can of clams. I reduced the liquid by half and added some heavy cream because dh and ds love creamy pasta. I thought it was a good addition, and the lemon and old bay were wonderful. I will make this again when dh is working late for ds and I :)

My husband and I enjoyed this recipe. I prepared it exactly as written and I would not change a thing! The spice from the old bay and red peppers gave this dish a delightful kick. I served it with a tossed salad.

This was good but a bit too spicy for me. I didn't know that Old Bay Seasoning already had red pepper in it or I wouldn't have added more. To kick it down a notch I had to add a bunch of parmesan which masked the flavors of everything else. I'm giving it 4 stars cause I think it could be delicious just without the extra red pepper.

This was quite good and we enjoyed this comfort food! My husband has been a little bit ill, and he requested pasta with clams. And although I usually eyeball it, I looked and saw this recipe. I left out the oregano and basil, because I thought it should be more bland for him at this time, and it was wonderful! I loaded it up with garlic, left out the Old Bay as we don't like it, and used Johnny's Dock instead, some lemon pepper in the grate bottle, then served mixed with the parmesan, (plenty of it, probably 8 ounces), more fresh lemon juice...and HEAVEN! This is a pot of happiness! YUM!

My entire family loved this! I used the Old Bay seasoning with garlic and herbs. My kids want me to make this already next week.

This is a wonderful recipe. I made this last night along with a green salad and garlic bread. My family and I loved it. I made 1 1/2 times the recipe and we ate the whole thing!!! I love the slight heat in the background, also the old bay gives it great flavor. I plan on making this again and again, as its so quick to make it will be great on those "gotta hurry and eat" nights. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, we loved it.
