Learn how to make the quintessential American-Italian version of Linguine and clams. Linguine Alle Vongole. This version does use canned clams the benefit being no matter where you are in the world and no matter what the season is you can make this dish. I learned this version of Linguine and Clams from American-Italian actor Tony Giorgio who appeared in over 200 movies and television shows during his career. He was in movies like American Me and the Godfather where he played the role of Bruno Tattaglia. Francis Ford Coppola needed a way to keep Luca Brasi’s face above the bar so it would be cinematically appealing. Tony was the person who came up with the idea of impaling Luca Brasi’s hand on the bar with a knife. I hope you enjoy making and eating this version of Linguine and Clams and remember, always leave the gun and always, but always take the Cannoli.
