This was such a disappointment. I made the recipe exactly as written. It looked like the picture...So bland, couldn't taste the clams. Boyfriend did not like either. The flavor was not there.....I will never make again as it was costly and time consuming. I am trying to salvage by adding seasoning and small shell noodles to give it substance....and call it Clam Shells Italiano LOL!

Absolutely delicious! We had to use twice the tomato juice because it was more like stew (maybe because we cooked it on high). We will definitely make this again!
