More About Linguini
From the Italian language, the name linguini translates to “little tongues”. It’s in a kind of elliptical shape, meaning that it’s not round like spaghetti, or flat like fettuccine, but lies somewhere between, wider than spaghetti but more narrow than fettuccine. This is a simple meal and quick to make. Master the poached egg and you will make some little tongues happy!
Got Equipment?
You will need a pasta maker to make linguini. If you have a wonderful electric one, bless your luck. Another great option is to use a pasta roller attached to your stand mixer, again if you have one. If not, one of the hand roller types is also fine. If you simply don’t have access to a pasta maker, buy a packet. It’s still going to work, and the egg is really the hero here anyway.
