About this dish
Linguine (lit. 'little tongues'), sometimes anglicized as linguini, is a type of pasta similar to fettuccine and trenette, distinguished by its elliptical rather than flat section. Around about 4 millimetres (5⁄32 in) in width, it is wider than spaghetti, but less wide than fettuccine. Linguine was traditionally served with sauces such as pesto, but others such as tomato or fish-based sauces are popular as well. Linguine originated in the city of Genoa and is based on more traditional pastas.
