De Cecco Linguine

Linguine are the most well-known type of long pasta from Liguria: they resemble a small, flat, narrow tagliatella-type pasta and were created to be eaten with traditional pesto.

It is precisely the flattened section and slightly convex shape of this pasta that makes it perfect for trapping the sauce and bringing out all the different flavours.

It is excellent just with butter and sage, or combined with fresh tomato based sauces, with vegetables and aromatic herbs, or quick, spicy sauces prepared with extra virgin olive oil, garlic, red pepper, anchovies and capers. It is also ideal with sauces made with shellfish and seafood and with "white" sauces prepared with cream, mascarpone, soft or melting cheeses with the addition of spices such as saffron, horseradish, curry and ginger.

De Cecco pasta is made with the highest quality durum wheat which is expertly hand selected and inspected even before milling. During the milling process, the grains of wheat are then ‘stripped‘ of their surface layer in order to obtain their most valuable part ‘straight from the heart.’

At their Mill in Fara San Martino, De Cecco use the pure cold mountain spring water to knead the semolina. This unique method better respects the primary material, preserving the integrity of the precious gluten network.

Shaping the pasta at De Cecco is also done traditionally using the bronze-drawing process as it’s the only way to make the pasta naturally rough, porous and able to absorb every type of sauce.
