Whole-Wheat Linguine (pronounced lin-GWEE-nee) is a long cut of pasta flattened into an elliptical shape. From the region of Liguria in Northern Italy, Linguine translates to “little tongues” in English. These long strands of pasta are popularly paired with ingredients from the region like seafood, Genovese basil pesto and simple tomato sauces.
DeLallo Organic Whole-Wheat Pasta begins with a high-quality blend of Italian organic durum wheat. Wheat is chosen for its beautiful color, wonderful aroma and high protein content. All of these characteristics create a pasta with ideal appearance, flavor and al dente texture when cooked. This wheat is ground into whole-wheat flour, then kneaded with rich mountain spring water for everything you love about traditional pasta, but with the benefits of whole grains. Pasta is extruded with bronze dies for a rough surface texture perfect for capturing sauces. True to tradition, we dry our pasta slowly at low temperatures to retain the pasta’s taste, texture and aroma.
