Organic Margherita Semolina Linguine

Artisanal Sicilian Margherito ancient wheat semolina pasta, linguine format, organic

The classic that loves the sea: bronze-drawn, perfect for creating creamy fish sauces

Linguine from Molino Crisafulli

Organic Margherito Semolina Linguine are made by the artisanal pasta factory Molino Crisafulli with Margherito semolina, an ancient Sicilian wheat grown directly on the mill's farm, using organic methods and without pesticides or insecticides. They are bronze-drawn, giving the pasta its characteristic rough surface that perfectly holds sauces, and slowly dried at low temperatures, a process that preserves the grain's sensory and nutritional qualities. Linguine is a classic long pasta shape in Italian cuisine, with a distinctive elliptical and slightly flattened cross-section, perfect for fish-based sauces: when sautéed, it releases just enough starch to create a delicious creamy texture that acts as a binding agent. Made exclusively with organic semolina from the prized Margherito, they are an authentic and easily digestible pasta.
 
 
 

The roots of this format are deep in Ligurian and Mediterranean tradition

Linguine—whose name means "little tongue" due to its characteristically flat, elongated shape—is a classic Italian pasta shape, deeply rooted in Ligurian and Campanian cuisine. In Liguria, it's a staple pairing with Genoese pesto, while in the south and along Italy's entire coast, it's ideal for seafood sauces. Its slightly flattened shape offers a larger surface area than spaghetti, allowing sauces to adhere better: this is precisely what makes it the perfect pasta shape for fish and seafood sauces, from linguine with clams to the famous version with anchovy sauce. The marriage of this great Italian pasta classic with Molino Crisafulli's ancient Sicilian Margherito wheat combines the tradition of seafood pasta with the quality of the island's native grains.
 
 
 

Choosing Linguine Margherito means taking care of yourself

Ancient grains like Margherita are now being re-evaluated as valuable allies for health. Compared to modern grains, they are naturally higher in protein and have a simpler, less tenacious gluten network: this makes the resulting pasta lighter and more digestible, while maintaining excellent cooking resistance. Bronze-drawing and slow drying at low temperatures best preserve the proteins, intense aroma, and nutritional characteristics of the grain. Durum wheat semolina pasta is a valuable source of complex carbohydrates, which provide slow-release energy, as well as plant-based proteins (approximately 11,8 g per 100 g), minerals, and B vitamins. Paired with fish, it creates balanced dishes rich in healthy fatty acids. Being organic and pesticide-free, it is a pure and genuine product. An authentic and nutritious choice. Contains GLUTEN.
 
 
 

How to Best Use: Margherito Semolina Linguine

• WITH FISH AND SEAFOOD SAUCES — It's their natural vocation. They are perfect with clams, mussels and seafood, or with a sauce Mediterranean bluefin tuna fillets, sautéed in a pan to create that starchy cream that binds and envelops the seasoning.
• WITH ANCHOVY COLATURA — A great classic of the coast. Season them raw with the Colatura di Alici di Cetara, oil, garlic and parsley, for a simple, intense first course with a deep seafood flavour.
• WITH DELICATE AND AROMATIC CONDIMENTS — Versatile even beyond fish. They are excellent with light vegetable sauces, with pesto or simply garlic, oil and a Fish Seasoning, to enhance their al dente consistency and the aroma of the wheat.
