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 also popular. [7] Linguine is typically available in white flour and whole-wheat versions but was originally made with durum wheat.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 originated in Genoa. [10] In the United States, National Linguine Day occurs on September 15 every year. [11]
