Do you know the story of linguine? It was a collaboration by a Chinese woman and an Italian man. The woman, Ling Mi Tsu, and the man, Guido Guinne, had both decided to make a thicker noodle than normal for their restaurants that were right next door to each other. Her, for the seafood dishes, and him for the tomato gravy. After experimenting with different gauges of pasta, they settled on the size that is still used today. Romance blossomed between the two, followed by marriage, and Guido honored his new wife Ling Guinne by naming their new noodles after her.... which has been slightly shortened over time to "linguine".
