H-E-B Linguine Pasta
What it is
This is a package of dried linguine pasta. Linguine is a long, flat pasta shape, similar to fettuccine but narrower. It is made from durum wheat semolina and water. The pasta is dried, which allows for a long shelf life and easy storage. It is a staple ingredient in many kitchens, ready to be cooked and served with a variety of sauces and accompaniments.
How people cook with it
Linguine is a versatile pasta that pairs well with many types of sauces.
- With seafood sauces
- With pesto
- In pasta salads
- With creamy sauces
To cook linguine, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the dried pasta and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means the pasta is tender but still has a slight bite. Drain the pasta well, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss the drained linguine immediately with your chosen sauce, adding a little of the reserved pasta water if needed to help the sauce coat the strands evenly.
How it differs from similar foods
Linguine is narrower than fettuccine, making it a lighter choice for certain dishes. It is wider than spaghetti, offering a different texture and mouthfeel. This shape holds sauces well without being too heavy.
