How people cook with it
Linguine is a popular choice for many pasta dishes. Its shape makes it ideal for holding onto different types of sauces.
- Tossed with pesto
- Served with seafood
- Mixed with tomato sauce
- Combined with creamy sauces
To prepare linguine, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the dried linguine to the boiling water, stirring gently to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means it should be tender but still have a slight bite. Drain the pasta well, reserving a small amount of the cooking water. Return the drained pasta to the pot and toss immediately with your chosen sauce. The reserved pasta water can be added to help the sauce emulsify and coat the strands evenly.
How it differs from similar foods
Linguine differs from spaghetti in its shape; it is flat rather than round. Compared to fettuccine, linguine is narrower. This subtle difference in width affects how it interacts with sauces, with linguine being particularly well-suited for lighter or oil-based sauces that can cling to its flat surface.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs prepare linguine for a variety of meals.
