Linguine Pasta.

Linguine (also spelled linguini) is a form of pasta — flat like fettuccine and trenette, but narrow like spaghetti. The name means "little tongues" in Italian.

According to Bobby Flay, linguine originates from the Campania region of Italy. Linguine alle vongole (with clams) is a popular use of this pasta.

While spaghetti traditionally accompanies meat and tomato dishes, linguine is often served with seafood or pesto. Linguine is slightly wider than spaghetti, and there is a companion product called linguini fini which is similar in width to spaghetti. In most recipes spaghetti and linguine are interchangeable.
