Tagliatelle

Also called fresh egg tagliatelle

Flat ribbons of egg pasta, about 8 mm wide, rolled thin and cut by hand or machine. Bologna's pasta for ragù.

Origin

Emilia-Romagna.

Flavour

Rich with egg, slightly rough, so sauce clings.

How to use it

Fresh, it cooks in 2–3 minutes; dried egg tagliatelle in about 6. Finish in the pan with the sauce and a splash of cooking water.

Storage

Fresh tagliatelle keeps two days in the fridge, or dry the nests and keep them a few weeks. Dried packs are pantry-stable.
