As usual with Chef John this one is also delish! Made it twice. This first was for myself. Loved it so much that I invited a group of six for dinner. All of them loved it. Only substitution with that I replaced plain white bread with sour dough. This gave it an additional level of flavors.
Great recipe! Only deviation from instructions was to cook the chicken a little less initially and cooking shorter once all the items were placed together. This prevented the chicken from drying out (which one of the previous reviewers complained about). I typically prefer bold flavors but this was subtle yet delightfully delicious. Will definitely make this again!
Yet another Chef John winner. Made it twice and have to say that the quality of the wine make a significant difference in taste. After the first time making it I felt that it could use more clams. But the second time I cooked the spaghetti completely then spooned the sauce on top while serving. This ensured that each serving had lots of clams. Delish!
Delicious! Traditional. The recipe instructs using seasoning salt when broiling the oysters and also salting the paste. I would use either one or the other but not both next time. I also felt that I added too much bread crumbs. I’d use less. All said this is an outstanding recipe. Highly recommended.
If Chef John puts it up you can be guaranteed that it will be delightfully delicious. This may also be yet another five star plate. Just not for me. Like the reviewer below, I have also had this in a number of regions and was disappointed with the outcome. Not saying it was not good. Just not what was expected. Still a big Chef John fan. Much love man!
