This pasta appears to have first been introduced during the 1700s in Genova, Italy. Giulio Giacchero is a writer who wrote about the economics of Genova during the 1700s. Giacchino began writing about trenette, a pasta-like Linguine spiced with pesto, green beans, and potatoes. When he wrote about this pasta dish, the writer stated that it was a typical festive dish served to Ligurian families at the time.
Italian families were required to cook the pasta by hand (as they may not have pasta machines at home at the time), and they would prepare the pasta using eggs instead of flour from wheat. This kind of pasta food is still prevalent in the Liguria regions of Italy even to this day.
Linguine dishes of today are usually served with seafood or vegetable sauces; however, they can be performed in many different ways too. In some parts of Italy, Linguine is typically done with mussels, clams or prawns, and calamari. In other regions like Tuscany, pasta is made using tortoni (a kind of squid), shrimp, tomatoes, shrimp and seafood, salmon creamed, and pumpkin.
