Whole Foods Market Linguine Pasta
What it is
This is a package of linguine pasta, a type of long, flat pasta that is wider than spaghetti but narrower than fettuccine. It is made from durum wheat semolina and water, which are the traditional ingredients for dried pasta. The pasta is dried to preserve its freshness and allow for convenient storage. This particular brand is produced by Severino Pasta Mfg. for Whole Foods Market. It offers a classic pasta shape that is versatile for many dishes.
How people cook with it
Linguine is a popular choice for a variety of pasta dishes. Its shape holds sauces well, making it a satisfying base for many meals.
- With seafood sauces
- Tossed with pesto
- Served with creamy sauces
- In baked pasta dishes
To prepare this linguine, bring a large pot of generously 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, reserving some of the cooking water. You can then toss the drained linguine with your chosen sauce, adding a little of the reserved pasta water to help the sauce emulsify and coat the strands evenly. Serve immediately.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to spaghetti, linguine is flatter and wider, offering a different mouthfeel and sauce-holding capacity. It is narrower than fettuccine, providing a more delicate presentation. This shape is ideal for lighter sauces or those with finely chopped ingredients that can cling to the flat surfaces.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a classic pasta shape for everyday meals or special occasions.
How to keep the rest
Store any unused portion of this dried linguine in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry. Ensure the package is sealed tightly to prevent moisture from entering, which can cause the pasta to become stale or develop mold. Proper storage will maintain the quality of the pasta until you are ready to use it.
