Both work—but they give slightly different vibes 🍝
Linguine
- A bit wider and flatter
- Holds onto sauces better
- Great with creamy, mushroom, or seafood sauces
- Feels a little more “restaurant-y”
Spaghetti
- Thinner and round
- Classic, neutral, always reliable
- Best for lighter, oil-based, or tomato sauces
- Usually what people have on hand
If you’re choosing right now:
- Creamy / bacon / mushroom / garlic-butter sauce? → linguine
- Simple, light, or pantry sauce? → spaghetti
- Already cooked and waiting? → use whichever 😄
If you want, tell me what you’re tossing it with and I’ll tell you which one shines—or how to rescue overcooked pasta in 2 minutes flat.
