- Dietary Suitability:
- Naturally low in fat.
- Non-GMO verified.
- Suitable for a vegan or vegetarian diet.

Cooking Details
The recommended cooking time varies slightly by retailer (ranging from 8-10 minutes), so checking the specific package is advised. For the standard al dente texture:
- Cooking Time: 10 minutes for al dente perfection. For a more tender result, you can cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Bring a large pot of water (around 1 liter for every 100g of pasta) to a fast, rolling boil.
- Add salt to the boiling water (approximately 7g, or 1 tablespoon, of salt per liter).
- Add the Barilla Linguine n.13 to the pot, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
- Cook for the time specified on the box for your desired texture (e.g., 10 minutes for al dente).
- Just before draining, reserve some of the starchy pasta water to incorporate into your sauce.
- Drain the pasta well (do not rinse) and finish by tossing it directly in the pan with your favorite sauce for a minute or two. This final step helps the pasta absorb the sauce’s flavor.
Linguine pairs particularly well with pesto, seafood, and light, vegetable-based sauces.
