PASTA,LINGUINE/SPINACH

Just like all De Cecco pasta, even spinach Specialities are made 
with the best durum wheat. The spinach used is not just any 
freezed-dried spinach, it is leaf fresh and tender spinach 
blanched and freezed straight after having been picked. The same 
one that the expert housewives would choose at the market. Only 
the best spinach can aspire to become a De Cecco ingredient. 
Linguine originated in Liguria, where they have become part of 
the gastronomic and culinary tradition. They are long pasta rods 
with a flat section and a varying thickness between 1,9 mm and 
2,1 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 cream, mascarpone, soft and 
melted cheeses all mixed with spices, such as curry, saffron, 
radish and ginger.
