What is Linguine?

Linguine — A flattened spaghetti-like pasta. It's best served with a medium-thick sauce which will cling to the thin strands well. Cream-based sauces go well with linguine and it's often served with seafood. Allow about 75g/2½oz of pasta a person. Use spaghetti if you can't find linguine, although it's available from most supermarkets either fresh or dried.
