Clams Steamed in Champagne image

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

I didn't have any champagne, so I used white wine instead. It turned out great!

The clams were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was still good.

This dish was a bit bland. I think it could have used some more seasoning.

I've made this dish a few times now and it's always a hit. The champagne adds a subtle sweetness and acidity that really complements the clams.
