Montebello Organic Linguine Pasta
What it is
This is a package of organic linguine pasta made by Montebello. Linguine is a type of pasta that is similar to fettuccine but elliptical in section rather than flat. It is typically made from durum wheat semolina and water. The organic certification means it is produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. This package contains 56 grams of dry pasta.
How people cook with it
Linguine is a versatile pasta shape that pairs well with a variety of sauces and ingredients. It is a staple in many kitchens for quick and satisfying meals.
- With seafood sauces
- In creamy pasta dishes
- Tossed with pesto
- As a base for vegetarian meals
To prepare, 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, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss the drained linguine immediately with your chosen sauce and any additional ingredients. The reserved pasta water can be used to help emulsify and thicken the sauce.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to spaghetti, linguine is flatter and wider, offering a different mouthfeel. It is also wider than vermicelli. Its shape allows it to hold onto sauces more effectively than thinner pasta strands, making it ideal for richer or chunkier preparations.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quality pasta for everyday meals or special occasions will find this useful.
How to keep the rest
Store the unopened package of linguine in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, transfer any remaining pasta to an airtight container to keep it fresh and prevent it from absorbing moisture or odors from the pantry.
