Tagliatelle

Tagliatelle are traditional Italian pasta originating from the Emilia-Romagna region. They are made from durum wheat flour and eggs and come in the form of long flat ribbons approximately 6-8 mm wide. Their origin is linked to the city of Bologna, according to legend, they were inspired by Lucrezia Borgia's hairstyle. They are most commonly served with meat-based bolognese sauce, but also pair beautifully with creamy sauces, truffles or wild mushrooms. Their slightly rough surface absorbs sauces well. Available both fresh and dried, they are quick and easy to prepare.
