The Best Clam Sauce
Jodie B
"I cannot order better white clam sauce in a restaurant. My boyfriend begs me to make this! Thanks Mom! Serve this dish with fresh garlic bread and a nice white wine. I promise this is a keeper and you won't like any other white clam sauce!"

Incredible! I added mushrooms as was suggested in some of the other reviews and I waited until the end to add the clams and simmered them for just about 1-2 minutes, I didn't want chewy clams.

This sauce is almost as good as restaraunt sauce. I found it is best to increase the wine and garlic and decrease the butter. I also added fresh basil--that really jazzed it up.
