Signature Select Linguine Pasta
What it is
This is a package of linguine, a type of pasta. It is made from 100% semolina flour, which is a coarse flour made from durum wheat. The pasta is enriched, meaning that certain nutrients have been added back into it after processing. Linguine is a long, flat pasta shape, wider than spaghetti but narrower than fettuccine. It is a staple in many kitchens.
How people cook with it
Linguine is a versatile pasta that pairs well with a variety of sauces and ingredients.
- With seafood sauces
- In creamy Alfredo dishes
- Tossed with pesto
- As a base for vegetable pasta
To cook linguine, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means it is tender but still has a slight bite. Drain the pasta well, reserving some of the cooking water. Return the drained pasta to the pot or a serving bowl. Toss immediately with your chosen sauce and any other desired ingredients. The reserved pasta water can be used to help emulsify the sauce and achieve a smoother consistency.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to spaghetti, linguine is flatter and wider, which allows it to hold sauces differently. It is also narrower than fettuccine, offering a distinct texture and mouthfeel. The use of 100% semolina flour contributes to its firm texture and ability to cook to al dente.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a classic pasta shape for everyday meals or special occasions.
How to keep the rest
Store the unopened package of linguine in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Once opened, transfer any remaining pasta to an airtight container to keep it fresh and prevent it from absorbing odors or becoming stale. Proper storage ensures the pasta maintains its quality for future use.
