De Cecco No. 7 Linguine, 1 Pound, 20 Per Case

De Cecco No. 7 Linguine delivers a clean, product-focused experience with the flavor, texture, and everyday appeal shoppers expect from this item.

Uses

Seafood pasta: Pair with white wine clam sauce, shrimp scampi, or calamari in garlic and oil for classic coastal Italian preparations.
Cream and cheese sauces: Toss with Alfredo, carbonara, or Parmigiano-Reggiano butter sauces that coat each flat strand evenly.
Light tomato sauces: Serve with marinara, puttanesca, or fresh tomato basil where the noodle’s texture grips the sauce without overwhelming it.
Cold pasta salads: Use in Mediterranean-style salads with olives, roasted vegetables, and vinaigrette; the firm texture holds up well when chilled.
Baked pasta dishes: Layer into linguine casserole or baked seafood pasta where the noodle maintains structure under heat.

Preparation & Use

Bring 4 to 6 quarts of salted water to a rolling boil per pound of pasta. Add the linguine and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook 9 to 11 minutes for al dente, adjusting slightly longer for softer texture. Drain immediately, reserving a small amount of pasta water to loosen sauces if needed. Toss with sauce while the pasta is still hot so the strands absorb flavor evenly. For baked dishes, undercook by 1 to 2 minutes since the pasta will finish in the oven.

Common Applications

De Cecco No. 7 Linguine is a standard on menus where seafood pasta is featured, from white-tablecloth restaurants to casual coastal eateries. It works equally well in cream-based dinner specials, lighter lunch portions with olive oil and herbs, and cold pasta salad bars. The 1-pound box is sized for 4 to 6 standard entrée servings, making portion planning straightforward in high-volume kitchens.
