Etymology

The word 'linguine' comes from the Italian language, where it is the plural of 'linguina', a diminutive form of 'lingua', meaning 'tongue'. The term refers to its elongated, thin shape that is reminiscent of a tongue. The origins of this pasta can be traced back to the coastal regions of Italy, particularly Liguria, where it became a staple due to the abundance of seafood in the area. Traditionally, linguine is often paired with light sauces that enhance the flavor of the pasta without overpowering it. Over time, it has evolved into a popular dish not just in Italy, but globally, with countless variations and recipes that feature linguine as a key ingredient.
