This is a great recipe for a special occasion. I made it for a dinner party and everyone loved it. The clams were cooked perfectly and the broth was so flavorful.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. The clams were cooked perfectly and the vegetables were still a bit crunchy. I served it with crusty bread for dipping and it was a perfect meal.

This recipe is a bit bland. I added some garlic and red pepper flakes to give it more flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the clams were overcooked and tough. The vegetables were also mushy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The clams were cooked perfectly and the vegetables were still a bit crunchy. I served it with rice and it was a perfect meal.

I've made this dish a few times now and it's always a hit. The clams are always cooked perfectly and the broth is so flavorful. I love serving it with crusty bread for dipping.

This was the perfect meal for a hot summer night. The clams were cooked perfectly and the vegetables were crisp and tender. I will definitely be making this again!

My family loved this simple, fresh, and flavorful dish. I used littleneck clams and served it with melted butter and lemon wedges. Definitely a keeper!
