Linguine De Cecco 1kg

Linguine pasta is one of the most iconic long pasta varieties from the coastal region of Liguria, Italy. Often described as a flattened, slightly convex version of spaghetti, it closely resembles a narrow, delicate tagliatelle, but with a smoother, more refined profile. Linguine was originally crafted to be paired with traditional pesto—a regional specialty made from basil, pine nuts, Parmesan, garlic, and olive oil.

The unique shape of linguine—flat and subtly curved—makes it ideal for holding onto sauces. Its surface and cross-section are perfectly designed to trap and retain flavor, allowing every bite to deliver the full richness of the dish. This quality makes linguine a favorite in both classic and contemporary Italian pasta recipes.

While pesto alla Genovese remains the most famous pairing, linguine also works beautifully with seafood-based sauces, light tomato preparations, and lemon-infused olive oil blends. Its versatility makes it a go-to choice in many Mediterranean and modern pasta dishes.

Whether served with clams in linguine alle vongole, tossed with fresh vegetables, or simply coated in pesto, this elegant pasta is a staple in Ligurian cuisine and beloved in kitchens worldwide.
