National Linguine Day

Linguine is a type of pasta that is long and thin, similar to spaghetti but wider. It originated in the Campania region of Italy and is commonly served with seafood or pesto sauce. The name "linguine" comes from the Italian word "lingua," which means tongue, as the pasta is shaped like a flat, narrow tongue. It is typically made from durum wheat semolina, water, and sometimes eggs, and is cooked in boiling water until it is al dente, meaning firm to the bite.
