Cooking with Linguine

Credit: Photo: Francesco Tonelli

Linguine is a type of pasta that originates from the Northern regions of Italy and is traditionally served with seafood or pesto. Flatter and wider than spaghetti noodles, it is perfect for dishes with rich sauces and succulent meats.

Here is a lovely twist on beloved pesto for spring. In Linguine with Spinach-Herb Pesto, baby spinach takes the place of most of the basil to give the sauce an earthy flavor. The thick, emerald sauce beautifully coats the flat noodles and serves up big flavor in every forkful.

The luxurious, velvety texture of a good pasta carbonara is ephemeral at best, so you must enjoy it right away. Tempering the egg with hot pasta water keeps the sauce creamy by preventing it from curdling. For a smoky taste, use bacon in place of pancetta.

In this linguine dish, sliced garlic gives off a mellower flavor and becomes part of the terrific texture. Unlike the light amount of sauce served with most pastas, when combining clam sauce and linguine, there should be a little extra broth.
