Ronco 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. The pasta is dried to preserve its freshness and shelf life, making it a convenient pantry staple for many meals. It holds its shape well during cooking and is a versatile base for a variety of sauces.
How people cook with it
Linguine is a classic pasta shape that pairs well with many different kinds of sauces and ingredients.
- With seafood sauces
- In creamy pasta dishes
- Tossed with pesto
- As a base for vegetable primavera
To prepare, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add the dried linguine, stirring 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 thoroughly, reserving some of the cooking water. Return the drained pasta to the pot and toss immediately with your favorite sauce, adding a little of the reserved pasta water if needed to help the sauce coat the noodles evenly.
How it differs from similar foods
Linguine is wider than spaghetti but narrower than fettuccine. This shape allows it to hold lighter sauces better than wider noodles, while still providing more surface area for sauce to cling to compared to thinner strands like vermicelli.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a versatile pasta shape for everyday meals will find this useful.
How to keep the rest
Store the unopened package in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, seal the remaining pasta tightly in an airtight container or bag to maintain freshness and prevent it from absorbing moisture or odors from the pantry.
