Linguine Pasta.

Linguine (often written erroneously linguini in English, yet consistently with its usual English pronunciation) are a form of pasta — flat like fettuccine and trenette, but narrow like spaghetti. The name means "little tongues" in Italian, where it is a plural of the feminine linguina.

According to Bobby Flay, linguine originate from the Campania region of Italy.^[1] Linguine alle vongole (with clams) are a popular use of this pasta.

While spaghetti traditionally accompany meat and tomato dishes, linguine are often served with seafood or pesto. Linguine are slightly wider than spaghetti, and there is a companion product called linguine fine which are similar in width to spaghetti.
