This fantastic recipe was given to me by a dear friend. They are an enormous family of Italians. She said it was her mothers recipe so I 
can only imagine how old it really is. My friend did confess that she updated it a little due to the convenience of bottled and jarred ingredients. There was no sacrifice in flavor she said, but huge savings in time. The amount of Clams Casino this recipe makes is a clear indication of the size of her family.
It is best to make it a day or two in advance to give it time to let all the different flavors infuse each other. If you have any leftover you can make it into a dip or even a small casserole. This is sure to be a hit with everyone.
Happy eating……
