Meijer Select Italian Linguine Pasta
What it is
This is a package of linguine pasta, a type of long, flat noodle. It is made from durum wheat semolina and water. The pasta is dried and ready to be cooked. It is a staple food in many cuisines, particularly Italian cooking. The shape is wider than spaghetti but narrower than fettuccine.
How people cook with it
Linguine is a versatile pasta that pairs well with a variety of sauces and ingredients. It is a popular choice for weeknight meals and special occasions alike.
- With seafood sauces
- In creamy pasta dishes
- Tossed with pesto
- As a base for vegetable sautés
To cook the 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 is tender but still has a slight bite. Drain the pasta well, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss the drained linguine immediately with your chosen sauce, adding a little reserved pasta water if needed to help the sauce coat the noodles evenly.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to spaghetti, linguine is flatter and wider, which allows it to hold chunkier sauces better. It is narrower than fettuccine, making it a good choice for lighter, more delicate sauces that might overwhelm a wider noodle.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a classic pasta shape for their favorite dishes will appreciate this linguine.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining uncooked linguine in a cool, dry place in an airtight container or the original packaging. Ensure it is sealed to prevent moisture absorption and keep it fresh for future use.
