Linguine (Italian: [liŋˈɡwiːne]; sometimes anglicized as linguini,[1][2] English: /lɪŋˈɡwiːni/) is a type of Italian 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.[3][4] The name linguine means 'little tongues' in Italian, where it is a plural of the feminine linguina.[5] A thinner version of linguine is called linguettine.[6] Linguine was traditionally served with sauces such as pesto, but others such as tomato or fish based sauces are popular as well.[7] Linguine is typically available in both white flour and whole-wheat versions, but was originally made with durum wheat.[8] Linguine originated in Italy and is based on more traditional pastas.[9] It is a type of pasta that finds its origin in Genoa.[10] In the United States, National Linguine Day occurs on September 15 every year.[11]
