For a richer flavor, consider using heavy cream instead of milk.
A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a pleasant touch of heat.
Fresh clams can be substituted for canned, but will require steaming them open and reserving their liquor.
Don't overcook the clams in the sauce, or they will become rubbery.
