Trenette

Type of pasta
  •   Media: Trenette

Trenette (Italian: [treˈnette]) is a type of narrow, flat, dried pasta from Genoa, Liguria; it is similar to both linguine and fettuccine.[1][2] Trenette is the plural of trenetta, but is only used in the plural and is probably a diminutive of the Genoese trena, meaning 'string'.[3] Trenette is commonly served in the form of pasta served with pesto, a dish known as trenette al pesto, which can also include potatoes and green beans boiled in the same water.[4]
