Pappardelle

Pappardelle are Italian pasta in the form of wide, flat ribbons, traditionally originating from Tuscany. They are about 2-3 cm wide, making them one of the broadest pasta varieties. Their width and thickness make them ideal for holding thick, rich sauces. The most classic dish is pappardelle al ragù di cinghiale, with wild boar ragù. They also pair beautifully with beef ragù, porcini mushroom sauce or game-based sauces. They are made from durum wheat or with eggs added, which gives them a richer flavour and golden colour.
