Trenette

Trenette is a type of narrow, flat, dried pasta from Genoa, Liguria; it is similar to linguine. Trenette is the plural of trenetta, but is only used in the plural and is probably a diminutive of the Genoese trena, meaning 'string'. The pasta is most commonly 3.5 – 4mm in width and roughly 1.5mm in thickness. 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.
