Hannaford Classic Linguine Pasta
What it is
This is a package of dried linguine pasta, a long, flat, and narrow noodle. It is made from durum wheat semolina and water, a common combination for dried pasta. The pasta is designed to be cooked in boiling water until it reaches the desired tenderness. It is a staple pantry item for many households, ready to be transformed into a variety of dishes.
How people cook with it
Linguine is a versatile pasta shape that pairs well with many sauces and ingredients. Its flat surface is ideal for holding onto lighter sauces.
- With seafood sauces
- Tossed with pesto
- Served with simple olive oil and garlic
- As a base for creamy dishes
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the linguine and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions, typically around 8-10 minutes, until al dente, meaning it has a slight bite. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss the drained linguine immediately with your prepared sauce, adding a little reserved pasta water if needed to help the sauce coat the noodles evenly. Serve hot.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to spaghetti, linguine is flatter and wider, offering a slightly different mouthfeel. It is also wider than vermicelli but narrower than fettuccine. This shape makes it particularly well-suited for clinging to oil-based or lighter cream sauces.
Who it is for
Home cooks preparing everyday meals or special dinners will find this pasta useful.
How to keep the rest
Store the unopened package in a cool, dry pantry. Once opened, transfer any unused pasta to an airtight container or resealable bag to protect it from moisture and pests. Properly stored, it can maintain its quality for an extended period.
