Linguine Pasta, 16 oz
What it is
This is a package of linguine pasta, a type of long, flat noodle. It is made from durum wheat semolina, a common ingredient for pasta. The shape is wider than spaghetti but narrower than fettuccine. It is a staple in many kitchens for creating a variety of dishes. This pasta is suitable for those following a plant-based diet.
How people cook with it
Linguine is a versatile pasta shape that pairs well with many sauces and ingredients.
- With seafood sauces
- In creamy pasta dishes
- Tossed with pesto
- As a base for vegetable stir-fries
To cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the linguine 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. You can then toss it directly with your prepared sauce, adding a little of the reserved pasta water to help the sauce coat the noodles evenly.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to spaghetti, linguine is flatter and wider, providing a different mouthfeel and a greater surface area for sauces to cling to. It is narrower than fettuccine, offering a more delicate texture than its wider counterpart.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining uncooked pasta in an airtight container or the original packaging in a cool, dry place. This helps to keep it fresh and prevent it from absorbing moisture or odors from the pantry.
