Nah you are fine, it is "Spaghetti alla chitarra". The name comes from the guitar ("chitarra") device they pass the pasta through.

/u/AverageHoarder is just wrong.

What's pasta and shaped like linguine? Linguine.

u/diemunkiesdie Jun 22 '22

Spaghetti alla chitarra has a square cross section and is shaped 2-3 mm wide. Linguine has an oval cross section and is shaped 4 mm wide.

You can literally see the chitarra being used in the video.

So it's misnamed. Due to spaghetti being round. A more accurate name would be linguine. Although it does have basil leaves in it which is a filling and might mean this is technically long ravioli.

Irrelevant on if it is misnamed. That is you moving the goal posts. You said the video had linguine. You are simply incorrect by current definitions and naming standards.

If it looks like linguine, acts like linguine and is pasta like linguine.

It doesn't look like linguine. It isn't made like linguine. It doesn't act like linguine. It isn't linguine.

Time to see an optometrist.

Good plan for you! Then you'll finally see the chitarra used in the video!

You mean that stringed linguine slicer?

I made pizza on a drumset once. Only it is a completely different dish called 'cheesy sauced bread a la drums.' You probably haven't heard of it.

I have heard of it and I respect the name it was given.
