Montebello Organic Linguine Pasta
What it is
This is a package of organic linguine pasta. Linguine is a long, flat pasta shape, similar to fettuccine but narrower. It is made from durum wheat semolina and water. The organic certification means the wheat used was grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. This pasta is a pantry staple for many home cooks.
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 dishes
- With pesto
- As a base for pasta salads
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 should be tender but still have a slight bite. Drain the pasta well, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss the drained linguine immediately with your chosen sauce to help it coat the strands evenly. The reserved pasta water can be added to the sauce to help emulsify it and create a smoother consistency.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to spaghetti, linguine is flatter and wider, offering a different mouthfeel and sauce-holding capacity. It is also typically wider than vermicelli. This organic version ensures the ingredients meet specific agricultural standards.
Who it is for
Home cooks seeking a classic pasta shape for everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
