Linguine means "little tongues" in Italian, and this is a type of pasta that originated in the region of Genoa in Italy,
Pasta is a traditional Italian dish made from unleavened dough. Although the precise ingredients can vary, it is commonly made from flour and water.
Linguine is made from white flour or whole wheat and is a type of long, thin pasta about 4mm wide with an elliptical cross section.
This pasta is traditionally used in seafood and pesto dishes; pesto is a sauce made from garlic, pine nuts, olive oil, basil and Parmigian Reggiano cheese.
Like most pastas, this can be made at home if desired, but it is usally bought pre-made, either fresh or dried. Fresh pasta is more likely to be made locally, whilst dried is almost certainly machine made.
