This article is about a kind of italian pasta called Linguini. It does have a decent lead paragraph but I think some irrelevant information in the first sentence is there like "similar to fettucine" and "trenette". It is difficult to evaluate the lead as there are no subsections in the article, but it seems it is meant to have subheadings like origin, preparation, and types, based on the lead.

Content is definitely missing. The article can have subsections of origin or history, recipes, types, toppings, related dishes, etc. For instance recipes or flavors/ways linguine dishes can be prepared like lemon, garlic, tomato sauce, etc. Also nutritional information can be added like calories and specific ingredients. Perhaps a section on how Italian linguine is prepared different from international linguine...

The tone of the article is fairly neutral but hard to assess since very little content.

Some links do not open or are expired, so I would add more reliable source links from research sites and expert food/pasta sites. They are fairly recent, from around 2020, 2022.

The overall article isn't divided into sections which is confusing to read. Some sentences are also too complex with many commas. E.g. the second sentence.

The image doesn't enhance the complete understanding of the topic. Since there is only 1 picture of raw linguine. This is great, but since linguini can be prepared in multiple different ways, additional images will make the article more interesting and eye-catching (e.g what a tomato sauce based linguine looks like vs. a lemon garlic base linguine).

The discussions in the talk page of this article discuss potential other missing ingredients of the linguini, the length of th pasta, and incorrect origins stated in the article. The article is also of interest to the Food and Drink WikiProject.

Overall the article provides a good starting point into the topic of linguini being a type of italian pasta. However, it is poorly developed as it is missing key content in the form of subheadings like origin, preparation, types, recipes, toppings, etc, as well as missing attractive images of linguini as a pasta dish. Once these are there, it will be a complete article.
