Publix Linguine Pasta
What it is
This is a package of dried linguine pasta. Linguine is a type of pasta that is similar to fettuccine but elliptical in section rather than flat. It is typically made from durum wheat and water. The pasta is dried for preservation and convenience, allowing it to be stored for extended periods before cooking. This product is suitable for a variety of pasta dishes.
How people cook with it
Linguine is a versatile pasta shape that pairs well with many sauces and ingredients.
- Tossed with seafood sauces
- Served with pesto
- Combined with creamy sauces
- Used in baked pasta dishes
To cook linguine, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the dried pasta to the boiling water 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 thoroughly, reserving some of the cooking water. The reserved water can be used to help emulsify sauces and coat the pasta evenly. Toss the drained linguine with your chosen sauce immediately.
How it differs from similar foods
Linguine differs from spaghetti in its shape; it is flatter and wider, though not as wide as fettuccine. This shape allows it to hold sauces differently, particularly those with small, finely chopped ingredients or creamy consistencies, compared to the round strands of spaghetti.
Who it is for
Home cooks preparing classic Italian-inspired meals will find this pasta useful.
How to keep the rest
Store unopened packages of dried linguine in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, transfer any remaining pasta to an airtight container to keep it fresh and prevent it from absorbing moisture or odors from the pantry.
