Linguine is the most well-known type of long pasta from Liguria: they resemble a small, flat, narrow tagliatella-type pasta and were created to be eaten with traditional pesto. It is precisely the flattened section and slightly convex shape of this pasta that makes it perfect for trapping the sauce and bringing out all the different flavors.
Thin Spaghetti is a smaller, delicious variation of the classic Spaghetti and this type of pasta comes from the south of Italy, from Naples in particular. Hot or cold sauces based on fresh tomatoes, vegetables, or aromatic herbs are the best way to enjoy this type of pasta.
