Linguine
Linguine (; ) is a type of pasta similar to fettuccine and trenette but elliptical in section rather than flat. It is about in width, which is wider than spaghetti but not as wide as fettuccine. The name "linguine" means "little tongues" in Italian, where it is a plural of the feminine "linguina". Linguine are also called "trenette" or "bavette". A thinner version of linguine is called "linguettine".
Origins.
Linguine originated in Genoa and the Liguria
oil and olives, under the denomination of "Gaeta Olives". The product adopted the name of the more known nearby city because they were shipped from the seaport of Gaeta.
- Among the traditional dishes prepared in Itri are the "Pasta e Fagioli "(pasta with beans), Polenta with Sausage Ragu, Risotto with Porcini Mushrooms, Linguine with Asparagus, grilled, roasted or sauteed wild game (such as wild boar, jackrabbit, pheasant, quails, and other local wild birds), and the delicious Marzolino
