Hi Mark, after answering you, I now see where the problem is. You have clicked on the recipe quantities 3x, meaning for 12 people. If you want to make this recipe for 12 you'll need to multiply the 11-14oz by 3.

Hi Mark, thanks for your comment. I'm not sure where you are seeing the quantities you quote. This is an old recipe so it doesn't have the weight conversion tool but I have written both metric and imperial quantities which are 320-400 g linguine (11-14oz) or vermicelli or spaghetti, meaning 320-400 grams of pasta are equivalent to 11-14 ounces. 320 grams is equivalent to 80 grams per person, whereas 400 grams will be 100 grams per person when making this recipe for 4.

Hi Carsten, thank you for your review. I'm thrilled to hear that you and your wife love the linguine alle vongole so much. We make it very often too, especially when we have guests! I'm also happy you find my blog inspirational, such a nice thing to say!

Hi Jacqui
Linguine all Vongole is for sure also my wife’s and my favorite Italian dish!
Living in Beijing – not so far from the sea by Chinese standards. Being this marriage's cook I do our seafood shopping in one of the seafood markets here and many years ago I came across an Italian chef buying clams there for his home meal that day – that was the beginning of a long friendship although my friend now has left Beijing where I have lived the past 26 years with my Chinese wife. In the beginning she frowned at the mere thought of even eating pasta over the softer Chinese noodles – then I introduced Linguine alle Vongole and she was hooked. We have just had pasta 3 days in a row with the clam dish as the Saturday part – she wants to have linguine alle vongole every other Saturday as we have the basic rule that Saturdays are for seafood leaving me time to spend in the market. This dish has also become part of our Christmas food.
Have always been buying “Manila clams” as these were the ones me chef friend bought and the ones that hooked my wife on to my cooking. I have occassionally seen the Vongola Verace seen these clams here, so next time around we will try them as sand can sometimes be a problem even when I have tried to purge them for hours and change water several times.
Thanks for giving me inspiration on an almost weekly basis.

Perfect!!! I did salt the pasta water and it was delicious! Easy and so flavourful.

Hi Booch, thanks for your comment. We don't add any liquid when first cooking the clams to open them. We find the clams produce water themselves. But some people add a little wine or water.

Hi Judith, thanks for your comment. I asked my Sicilian husband whose recipe this is and he doesn't recommend making it in advance as he says the clams will dry out. However, it doesn't take that long to make and of course you can chop the garlic etc, as long as you put it in a sealed container, in advanace. Merry Christmas from Verona.

Do you think it's something I could prep in advance? I plan to use a combination of fresh and canned clams. Thank you for a great recipe.
