Linguine

Linguine (Italian: [liŋˈɡwiːne], English: /lɪŋˈɡwiːni/; sometimes anglicized as linguini)[1] is a type of 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.[2][3] The name linguine means "little tongues" in Italian, where it is a plural of the feminine linguina.[4] A thinner version of linguine is called linguettine.[5] Linguine was traditionally served with sauces such as pesto but others such as tomato or fish based sauces are popular as well.[6] Linguine is typically available in both white flour and whole-wheat versions but was originally made with durum wheat.[7] Linguine originated in Italy and is based on more traditional pastas.[8] In the United States, National Linguine Day occurs on September 15 every year.[9]
