What is "tagliatelle"?
Tagliatelle is a type of pasta characterized by its long, ribbon-like shape. It is similar to fettuccine but is slightly narrower in width. Tagliatelle originated in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy and is commonly made from durum wheat semolina and water. The dough is rolled out thinly and then cut into long, flat strips. Tagliatelle is traditionally served with a variety of sauces, including rich and creamy sauces like Alfredo or carbonara, as well as tomato-based sauces or ragù. Its broad surface area and texture make it perfect for holding onto sauces, allowing for a flavorful and satisfying meal.
Example
My Italian friend told me to combine tagliatelle with a rich tomato and basil sauce for a traditional pasta dish.
My father tossed tagliatelle in a creamy mushroom sauce for a comforting and flavorful meal.
