Features

Pappardelle is often cooked only to the point where they just become soft, then they are taken out of the pot, added a huge “nest” in the sauce, and then wait until they are ready. In this way, the pasta absorbs the sauce better and becomes even more delicious and flavorful.

Also, Pappardelle is the largest of all formats of long egg pasta.

What to pair with

Pappardelle will be excellent with fish, vegetable sauces, and shrimp or lobster with spinach.

In Tuscany, there are two classic recipes with Pappardelle: with rabbit or hare stew and with duck stew sauce. However, this type of pasta is also excellent with beans or mushrooms.
