You may need to add a dribble of water to help it combine. Roll into a ball and wrap in clingfilm. Allow to rest in the fridge for at least an hour. Once rested, flatten the dough slightly and feed the dough through a pasta machine, working your way through the settings from thick to thin, until the pasta is paper thin. Feed the sheet of dough through the linguine attachment. Set aside in a little semolina. To make the vongole, add the olive oil to a large saucepan with a fitted lid over a medium heat, then add the chilli and garlic and cook for 1 minute or until the garlic has lightly caramelised. Throw in the clams, then add the wine and cover the pan with its lid. Cook for around 2–3 minutes, or until all of the clams have opened. Discard any clams that remain closed. Meanwhile, boil the fresh linguine in a large pan of boiling salted water for 1–2 minutes. Once cooked, drain the pasta, reserving some of the pasta water. Add the drained pasta into the pan along with a ladle of the cooking water. Throw in the parsley and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
