Kitchen and Usage Tips:
Tagliatelle is a long, flat pasta cut that shines in so many different pasta recipes. It is a hearty egg pasta that stands up to decadent creamy sauces and chunky meat sauces, like Bolognese. Tagliatelle shines in simple sauces too—sauces of butter or olive oil with fresh herbs and vegetables. We love serving our Spinach Tagliatelle nests with a lush garlicky cream sauce—something like an Alfredo sauce but with more zip and the addition of sweet, creamy mascarpone cheese.
