La Fe Linguine Pasta
What it is
This is a package of dried linguine pasta. Linguine is a type of pasta that is long and flat, similar to fettuccine but narrower. It is made from durum wheat semolina and water. The pasta is dried, which allows it to be stored for extended periods before cooking. This particular brand is La Fe.
How people cook with it
Linguine is a versatile pasta shape that pairs well with a variety of sauces and ingredients.
- With seafood sauces
- In pasta salads
- With pesto
- In baked dishes
To cook linguine, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add the dried linguine to the boiling water, stirring 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 pasta water. The reserved water can be used to help emulsify sauces and bind them to the pasta. Toss the drained linguine with your chosen sauce and serve immediately.
How it differs from similar foods
Linguine differs from spaghetti in its shape; it is flattened rather than round. Compared to fettuccine, linguine is typically narrower. This shape allows it to hold lighter sauces and delicate ingredients effectively.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining dried linguine in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing moisture or odors from the pantry.
