Linguine Pasta

Linguine is a type of pasta, similar to fettuccine but narrower. It is made from durum wheat flour and water, and sometimes eggs. The dough is typically extruded through a die and then cut into long, flat strands.

Linguine is a staple in Italian cuisine and is often served with sauces. Manufacturers use it as a base for pasta dishes, where it provides a neutral flavor and satisfying texture. It is commonly found in frozen dinners, pasta salads, and prepared entrees.

Linguine is a source of carbohydrates and provides some protein and fiber. It is not subject to specific FDA regulations beyond general food safety standards. The U.S. National Academies have not established upper intake levels for pasta. Consumption of refined carbohydrates like white pasta in moderation is generally considered part of a balanced diet.
