Linguine (Italian: [liŋˈɡwiːne]; sometimes anglicized as linguini,[1][2] English: /lɪŋˈɡwiːni/) is a type of Italian pasta similar to fettuccine and trenette, but elliptical in section rather than flat. It is about 4 millimetres (5⁄32 in) in width, which is wider than spaghetti, but not as wide as fettuccine.[3][4] The name linguine means 'little tongues' in Italian, where it is a plural of the feminine linguina.[5] A thinner version of linguine is called linguettine.[6] Linguine was traditionally served with sauces such as pesto, but others such as tomato or fish based sauces are popular as well.[7] Linguine is typically available in both white flour and whole-wheat versions, but was originally made with durum wheat.[8] Linguine originated in Italy and is based on more traditional pastas.[9] It is a type of pasta that finds its origin in Genoa.[10] In the United States, National Linguine Day occurs on September 15 every year.[11]

Etymology

Linguine comes from the Latin word lingua which means "tongue". The modern language closest to Latin is Italian, and the Italian word Linguine, plural of linguina, means "little tongues". Linguine is one of the types of pasta whose name describes its shape (narrow flat pasta).[12]

History

Linguine, a type of flattened spaghetti, was initially documented in the 1700s in Genoa, Italy, by Giulio Giacchero, an economist writer. Giacchero, author of a book on the economy of Genoa in the 1700's, writes about linguine served with green beans, potatoes and a Genovese specialty—basil pesto[13]. He claims it was the typical festive dish of Ligurian families of the 1700s.[14]

Liguria is the coastal region in far northwest Italy on the Ligurian Sea, dominated by the ancient port of Genoa. Basil pesto is a traditional dish there, and is often called by its full name pesto alla Genovese. That is why pesto dishes are typically served over linguine.[15]

Linguine with clams arrived in New York during the 1800s as Southern Italians migrated to the United States. Referred to as Clam Linguine Pasta or linguine in clam sauce, this dish gained popularity among coastal Italians in Campagna.[16]

Production

The production of linguine involves mixing semolina flour or durum flour and water to form a dough, which is then rolled out and cut into flat strands. Traditionally, pasta-making was a labor-intensive process carried out by hand, but modern production methods have streamlined the process.[15]

Wheat can also be grounded into whole-wheat flour, then kneaded with water to make whole grain linguine.[17] Whole grain pasta is noted to improve digestive health, lower risk of heart disease, stroke, obesity, and provide vitamins essential for body’s functions, according to WebMD Corporation.[18]

Preparation

Dry linguine is cooked in a pot of salted, boiling water.

The linguine is stirred gently to prevent sticking together and cooked for 8-10 minutes or until al dente.

While the noodles cook, desired sauce is prepared in a separate pan. Linguine is then drained using a colander. A small cup of pasta water is reserved as it is used to adjust the consistency of sauce later.[19]

Linguine Dishes

Shrimp Linguine - a seafood dish made with shrimps, cherry tomatoes, lemon zest, olive oil, and garlic[20].

Pesto smoked salmon linguine - a linguine dish made with salmon, pesto, broccoli, and parmesan cheese[21].

Linguine with lemon sauce - a dish made with lemon, butter, and heavy cream[22].

Linguine with clam sauce - an Italian dish with white wine, clams, orange juice, and red pepper flakes[23], discovered by Mario Batali who was named GQ Magazine’s 1999 “Man of the Year” in the chef category and, in 2002 and 2005 respectively, won James Beard Foundation awards for “Best Chef: New York City” and “Outstanding Chef of the Year.” [24]

Linguine vs. Spaghetti

Linguine and spaghetti are two pasta types in Italian cuisine[25]. These pastas have several similarities and one key difference:

Shape: The primary difference between linguine and spaghetti is that linguine is a flat noodle, while spaghetti is round. Linguine's flat shape provides a surface area for clinging to sauces, making it more common for seafood dishes.[15]

Wheat: Linguine and spaghetti are traditionally made with durum or semolina flour. These kinds of pasta can technically be made from any type of flour, such as potato or rice, but the traditional forms use wheat.

Long pasta: There are many different types of pasta with varying pasta shapes, such as penne, farfalle, rigatoni, macaroni, fusilli, ziti, lasagna, and tagliatelle. Linguine and spaghetti belong to the category of pasta known as long pasta. Other pastas with long noodles include fettuccine, angel hair, and capellini.

Preparation: Many pasta recipes call for noodles to be prepared “al dente,” meaning they are removed from the hot water while still slightly firm. Both spaghetti and linguine dishes are cooked this way.
