LINGUINE!!!!!!
Perfect with pesto, vibrant with vongole, luscious with lobster, lovely just with lemon and Parmigiano reggiano. This elliptical long pasta is versatile, elegant, and a staple of the dry goods cupboard. Let's hear it for LINGUINE!!!
And spare a thought for our handsome, chunky rival who gave linguine a very tough run over the last 24 hours. It was a close race!
Lift a glass, everyone, to LINGUINE. Drink a toast to the runner up RIGATONI. And feel grateful that ours is a world filled with pasta of every shape and colour for every class, gender, walk of life. Pastadiversity and abundance to all in 2021!
