Lingue di Passero – Sparrows’ Tongues Pasta 500g

Lingue di Passero pasta by Pastificio Granoro in Puglia.

Literally translated it means Sparrows’ Tongues (Italian pasta makers often use light-hearted names for their pasta shapes).

Lingue di passero is a long pasta which are slightly oval-shaped. They are very much like a thicker version of linguini and can be used in just the same way as linguini.

It is delicious in its own right with seafood, try it with a classic vongole sauce (clams) or with swordfish and lemon. Lingue di passero with green Pesto Genovese gives an original touch to another classic dish. Lovely too with vegetable sauces eg. red peppers or courgettes and cream.
