What is "pappardelle"?
Pappardelle is a wide and flat ribbon-shaped pasta, known for its robust texture and ability to hold rich sauces. Its width and thickness give it a substantial bite, while the smooth surface allows sauces to cling to it effortlessly. The taste of pappardelle is mild and neutral, allowing it to complement a wide range of flavors. To make pappardelle, pasta dough is rolled out and cut into wide strips, typically around 1 inch in width. The strips are then boiled until al dente and can be served with various sauces, such as meat ragù, creamy mushroom, or tomato-based preparations. The texture of cooked pappardelle is tender yet chewy, providing a satisfying eating experience.
