The story of linguine begins in the coastal region of Liguria in northwestern Italy. Known for its rugged coastline, lush hills, and vibrant culinary traditions, Liguria is the birthplace of this iconic pasta. The name “linguine” comes from the Italian word “lingua,” meaning “tongue,” which is a nod to its long, flat, and slightly curved shape resembling a tongue.

Linguine’s shape was likely inspired by the need to create a pasta that could hold onto the region’s rich and flavorful sauces. Liguria is famous for its pesto, a sauce made from fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. The flat, ribbon-like shape of linguine makes it an ideal match for pesto, allowing the sauce to cling to the pasta without overwhelming it.
