Years ago as a very young cook in a Pub, I secretly added a heavy cream to the head chef's white clam sauce. People were telling the servers to tell the chef how great it was. It was! EEEEEEEOW I got chewed out. I know why now!

Very nice sounding dish.
Crusty bread,a glass full of the stomp of the grape.

Perfect,Thank-you!!

Kind Regards


I make something almost identical to this about once or so a month - and it is so easy and delivers in a big way. That heavy cream is the bomb here. I've used it and half 'n' half and both work, but that heavy cream makes it so decadent and over the top. This is the perfect meal to make on a busy weeknight (or any night)....so comforting and delicious. I would pull out some of my homemade crusty bread and serve with something wickedly intoxicating. And invite my neighbor over. Heh. Thanks Sas m'dear - high 5! ;-)~ vickie
