All De Cecco wholemeal pasta is made according to the original
De Cecco system. Many pasta companies make wholemeal pasta
subjecting the wheat meal to a thermal treatment before the
actual pasta-making to prevent fat degradation. In De Cecco our
own special method is followed to obtain wheat meal and the low
temperature desiccation method is used in order to preserve all
the fiber proprieties, mingling to the sweet fragrance of the
wheat and thus straight onto your table. Linguine originated in
Liguria, where they have become part of the gastronomic and
culinary tradition. They are long pasta rods with a flat, or
almost flat section and a varying thickness from 1,37 mm and
1,45 mm.
Linguine are excellent with oil and aromatic herbs
based sauces, pesto above all. Thanks to their versatility they
are also recommended with butter based sauces and with seafood
and shellfish sauces. Another deliciuos combination is with
"white" creamy sauces made with milk cream, mascarpone, soft and
melted cheese all mixed with spices, such as curry, saffron,
radish and ginger.
