What it is
This is a package of dried linguine pasta. Linguine is a long, flat pasta shape, similar to spaghetti but wider. It is made from durum wheat semolina and water. This pasta is a pantry staple for many home cooks. It is a versatile base for a wide variety of sauces and dishes. The 9 oz package is a convenient size for smaller households or for trying out a new recipe.
How people cook with it
Linguine is a popular choice for many Italian-inspired meals. Its shape makes it ideal for holding onto sauces.
- With pesto sauce
- Tossed with seafood
- In creamy Alfredo
- With simple garlic and oil
To prepare, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add the linguine and stir occasionally 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, reserving some of the cooking water. Return the drained pasta to the pot and toss with your favorite sauce, adding a little of the reserved pasta water to help the sauce coat the noodles evenly.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to spaghetti, linguine is wider and flatter, which allows it to hold thicker or creamier sauces more effectively. Its surface area also provides a different mouthfeel. It is distinct from fettuccine, which is generally wider.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a classic pasta shape for weeknight dinners or special occasions.
