I copied this from "The Canyon Ranch Cookbook" by Jeanne Jones. I haven't made this but I borrowed the book from a friend and want to give it back. Here for safe keeping. I guessed time.

I'm giving this recipe 4 stars. It was delicious, but it was a bit too rich for my taste. I might try making it again with a lighter sauce.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the clams and added extra vegetables. It was still very tasty!
