The Best Type Of Pasta Sauce To Pair With Linguine
BY STEPHANIE FRIEDMAN
Linguine is a long, thin noodle that pairs best with a smooth sauce that ranges from light to creamy. It is flat and wide, so it has more surface area to hold onto rich liquids.
These sauces can include butter, olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and chopped herbs. You can also try creamy sauces like Alfredo or carbonara.
You can also try a white wine sauce or a light, smooth tomato sauce with olive oil, basil, and garlic. Avoid mixing in chunky ingredients like ground meat or diced veggies.
