Etymology
The word 'linguini' originates from the Italian word 'linguina', which means 'little tongues', derived from 'lingua', meaning 'tongue'. It is believed that the pasta shape reflects the appearance of tongues, hence the name. Linguini is primarily associated with the Liguria region of Italy, where it is typically served with seafood dishes, although it has gained widespread popularity in various Italian-American cuisines. The history of linguini dates back to the 19th century, and as pasta became increasingly popular worldwide, linguini followed suit, adapting to various culinary styles and recipes.
