For Linguine dinner choices at Nico & Vali’s, try the Seafood Linguine. When it came steaming out to my table, all I could marvel at was the incredible smells wafting up from the dish. The Seafood Linguine is made with homestyle linguine pasta tossed with shrimp, scallops, mussels, clams & calamari with your choice of Marinara or Aglio é Oglio. Another option is to try the Linguine with Clams, which has Baby clams tossed with homestyle linguine and your choice of Marinara Sauce or Aglio é Oglio. Both options are simply delicious that you have to try!

From the Liguria region of Italy, linguine means “little tongues” in Italian. Made from durum semolina flour, linguine is one of the world’s oldest kinds of pasta. Fettuccine and linguine were both developed around 400 years ago. While both are thin, flat noodles, linguine is narrower and more elliptical. As a result, linguine produces a more delicate pasta. To avoid breakage, you will find restaurants pair linguine with thinner, lighter sauces. However, lighter sauces don’t limit linguine’s flavor profile. Linguine recipes offer a wide variety of sauces. Whether you prefer spicy pasta or seafood, linguine offers a nice base. It compliments herb and butter sauces nicely, too. When adding fresh vegetables, linguine allows the bright colors to shine. Pesto lovers rave over linguine. Another ingredient that favors linguine is earthy mushrooms.
