Linguine

Linguine are long, flat pasta originating from the Liguria region of Italy. Their name translates to little tongues in Italian, which aptly describes their characteristic flat shape. They are thinner than tagliatelle but wider than spaghetti, making them ideal for light sauces based on olive oil, seafood, or pesto. They are traditionally served with alle vongole clam sauce or aglio e olio. Cook them in salted boiling water for approximately 8-10 minutes until al dente to preserve their pleasant texture.
