Made the same way it has been made for generations, using just 2 simple ingredients: high-quality, carefully selected durum wheat and water to create the authentic Italian taste. Making Italy's best pasta for over 140 years, Barilla Pasta Classic Linguine originated in the Liguria region of Italy, and 'linguine' actually translates to 'little tongues' in Italian. Liguria is situated next to the sea, so linguine is often paired with seafood. You can also try it with our Pesto or our Tomato Sauce ranges. Barilla Pasta Classic Linguine cooks in just 9–10 minutes. Simply bring water to a boil in a large pot, add the Linguine, and a generous pinch of sea salt to the cooking water to enhance the pasta's flavour. For authentic 'al dente' pasta, boil uncovered, stirring occasionally for 9–10 minutes. For pasta that's more tender, boil for an additional minute. Drain well and serve the Linguine immediately with your favourite Barilla sauce.
