Dad's Vongola

This is my fathers dish and it’s awesome! Vongola means clam in Italian, so I guess this recipe is called, “dads clam.”!!!!

This is REALLY easy to make and as the kids say….. It’s THE BOMB!

Here is what you’re going to need:
1 Fresh lemon
3 cloves of garlic
Salt/Pepper to taste
Fresh parsley chopped
1 ½ pound of fresh chopped clams (utilize juice)
4 oz of clam juice
¾ stick of butter
1 pound linguini or spaghetti

~Coat a large frying pan with olive oil, add butter and cook on low/medium heat.
~Once butter is melted add the garlic, salt, pepper.
~Next you’re going to add the clams, clam juice and lemon juice. Cook for about five minutes.
~Add parsley and then toss with cooked pasta.

Serve immediately with some nice Pecorino Romano cheese!

Buon appetito!!!
