How to Celebrate National Linguine Day
Get ready to enjoy National Linguine Day with some of these fun ideas, or come up with your own:
Make Some Linguine Dishes
Those who want to celebrate National Linguine Day can start by creating their own dish with linguine. Get started by making a light version of a seafood or vegetable sauce.
Start with a base of butter and olive oil, and add spices such as garlic, cilantro, mint and Italian seasoning.
Then use that base to add whatever seafood or vegetable is desired, such as shrimp, clams, mussels, or prawns. From there, those who want to make it even creamier, can add heavy cream or milk to make the sauce taste even better. A delicious sauce to pour over linguine!
Get Creative with Linguine
Those who want to go beyond the typical fare that is usually paired with linguine should try recipes inspired by these unique ideas (easily found with a quick internet search):
- Turmeric Rubbed Flank Steak with Linguine and Sweet Peppers. The unique surprise of this dish is the use of turmeric (curcumin) which creates an interesting departure from the typical spices that are usually expected in Italian dishes.
- Garlic Linguine with Cabbage and Anchovy. Savoy greens and delicious bread crumbs make this affordable dish something to try again and again.
- Linguine with Asparagus and Egg. For lunch, brunch or supper, this delicious dish is a hit–and super easy to pull off!
- Spicy Fennel Linguine with Sardines and Capers. While keeping with the seafood theme of linguine, using canned sardines makes this recipe a super simple one to prepare. And the capers add a flavorful touch.
Watch The Linguini Incident
This early 1990s American crime comedy has garnered a bit of a unique following.
Starring the strange but never boring actor, David Bowie, as well as Rosanna Arquette, the film features a story about two disgruntled employees of a restaurant who are up to no good in order to make their personal dreams come true.
And, yes, although the film chooses to spell this venerable pasta’s name with an “i”, this is actually a misspelling. The name of the pasta truly should be spelled with an “e” at the end!
Plan a Trip to Italy
Of course, the pinnacle of ways to enjoy National Linguine Day would, of course, be by eating fresh pasta at a lovely restaurant in Italy!
Whether planning to visit Rome, Milan, Florence or Pisa, Italian eateries all over the country are sure to please with traditional linguine dishes that will simply melt in the mouth. While there, don’t forget to end the meal with a delicious cup of gelato or an espresso drink. It’s pure heaven!
