Bigoli
Very thick, rough long pasta from the Veneto, traditionally pressed through a bronze bigolaro. Often made with wholewheat flour or duck egg.

Origin
Veneto, especially around Vicenza and Padua.
Flavour
Hearty and wheaty with a rough surface that grips duck ragù and anchovy sauces.
How to use it
Cook dried bigoli 10–12 minutes, fresh about 5. Thick spaghettoni are the nearest stand-in.
Storage
Dried bigoli are pantry-stable. Fresh ones keep two days in the fridge.
