Trenette (Italian:[treˈnette]) is a type of narrow, flat, dried
pasta from
Genoa,
Liguria; it is similar to both
linguine and
fettuccine.[1][2]Trenette is the plural of trenetta, but is only used in the plural and is probably a
diminutive of the
Genoesetrena, meaning 'string'.[3]Trenette is commonly served in the form of pasta served with
pesto, a dish known as trenette al pesto, which can also include
potatoes and
green beans boiled in the same water.[4]
