Pappardelle, derived from the Italian verb "pappare" meaning 'to gobble up,' is a wide, flat pasta noodle originating from the Tuscany region but beloved throughout Italy. This pasta resembles fettuccine or tagliatelle but is significantly broader, typically around 3 centimeters wide, with straight edges.

Dried pappardelle is typically crafted from durum wheat semolina. It is traditionally paired with hearty sauces featuring meats and cheeses. A classic Tuscan favorite, "pappardelle al ragù di cinghiale," showcases a wild boar meat sauce, though variations with lamb, pork, and beef ragù are also popular.

For vegetarians, pappardelle pairs well with sauces like wild mushroom cream or a simple marinara sauce.

This pappardelle from Pastificio Fiorillo is made exclusively with Italian bronze-drawn durum wheat semolina, undergoes slow drying to preserve its taste, nutrition, and health benefits, making it ideal for complementing any type of sauce.

Ingredients: durum wheat semolina, water.
