These are terrific, some would even say, "romantic". From the November 1989 issue of Bon Appetit. I serve this over linguine.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. The clams were a bit gritty and the sauce was too salty.

This dish was just okay. The clams were a bit tough and the sauce was bland.
