This classic tosses chopped clams and linguine pasta in a buttery white wine sauce, mixed with earthy mushrooms, garlic, and fresh herbs. Using canned clams and presliced mushrooms saves time in the kitchen—this dish can be on your table in just 45 minutes from start to finish.
This was a delicious and simple recipe. Omitted the mushrooms because I'm not a fan, but followed the rest of the recipe just as written.. so much amazing flavor. It's my new go to for white clam sauce. Thanks for sharing!
We really loved this recipe! Prepared as directed but chopped instead of sliced the mushrooms as a previous reviewer suggested. Excited to have the few leftovers we have for lunch today! Served with a spinach salad and warm bread.
I didn't have fresh mushrooms but will try to use them the next time. :) No fresh basil either, so I omitted that. No white wine, so I used dry vermouth. With all of the substitutions, this still was a very good clam sauce recipe!
I was pleased to see a recipe that uses mushrooms in the clam sauce. I have been doing this for years, and it adds both flavor and fiber to the dish. I chop the mushrooms rather than slice so they sort of mix with the chopped clams. One of my favorite, easy recipes. My store sells frozen chopped clams which really improves this if you can get them.
Incredible! My husband and I are big fans of linguine with clam sauce, but wanted to try a new recipe. I'm so glad we did- this is the best recipe we've tried! We especially loved the reserved clam sauce cooked with the noodles- it gives the noodles so much flavor that we hadn't had with any other recipe! A keeper, for sure!
Makes for a great, quick weeknight dinner! I added thyme, basil, and oregano, a can of diced tomatoes, and a bit of cornstarch to thicken the sauce. Simmered for a little longer than the five recommended minutes as well to allow the flavors to meld. My boyfriend raved about it and I'll definitely be making it again!
This is my "go-to" meal when I have a time crunch. It's great and very adaptable; sometimes I add fresh chopped tomatoes and if I have leftover shrimp or crab, I'll add these as well.
Made this recipe according to directions with no substitutions. I would have preferred a creamy sauce, but overall I did like the dish.
Much better than other linguine with clam sauce recipes I have tried. The mushrooms and herbs added alot to the dish. I added some additional red pepper for some extra heat, but otherwise the recipe is perfect as is.
