De Cecco Linguine n° 7 is a traditional Italian long pasta originating from Liguria, distinguished by its narrow, flattened shape resembling delicate ribbons of tagliatelle.

Traditionally created to accompany the celebrated Ligurian pesto, Linguine features a flattened section and slightly convex profile that allow sauces to cling beautifully to the pasta, enhancing the flavours of every ingredient.

Its versatility extends well beyond pesto. Linguine pairs beautifully with butter and sage, fresh tomato sauces, vegetables, aromatic herbs, seafood and shellfish. It is equally suited to white sauces featuring cream, mascarpone, soft cheeses and spices such as saffron, horseradish, curry and ginger.

Crafted according to De Cecco's established pasta-making methods, including cold-water dough preparation and slow drying at low temperatures, Linguine n° 7 offers a distinctive texture and exceptional versatility for traditional Italian cooking and contemporary culinary preparations.

Cook De Cecco Linguine n° 7 in a generous amount of boiling salted water for approximately 10 minutes for an al dente texture, or 12 minutes for the standard cooking time.

For traditional Ligurian-style preparation, toss the freshly cooked linguine with Pesto Genovese, adding a little reserved pasta cooking water to help distribute the sauce evenly.

For seafood dishes, finish the pasta directly in the pan with the sauce, allowing the flattened strands to absorb the flavours of the seafood, olive oil and aromatics.

Serve immediately while hot to best appreciate its texture and the balance between pasta and sauce.

• Pesto Genovese: Pair with a crisp Vermentino or Gavi to complement fresh basil and olive oil.
• Linguine alle Vongole: Pair with Pinot Grigio, Verdicchio or a mineral-driven Italian white wine.
