Everybody else has already said it: This recipe is fast, easy, and delicious. A keeper.

This is the perfect delicious, quick meal. I've made it twice now, and the whole family gobbles it up. This time I took a chance and added just a spoonful of pesto to the mix (despite my DW skepticism) and it was a nice twist. Thanks!

This is a fantastic clam sauce! Not so complicated that you lose the clam flavor, like a lot of recipes. I made almost double the sauce, as I didn't want to waste any yummy clam juice! Even my 4 year old loved this, after I explained that the "chicken" wasn't chewy, it was clams... ;-) Made with Anme's garlic knots off this site. Fantastic meal, and thanks so much for sharing. I will definitely make this again.
