PAPPARDELLE is made using an egg pasta dough that is cut into long wide ribbons that range from 1 inch up to 2 1/4 inch wide. It originates from central and northern Italy with the name itself being of Tuscan origin.
This pasta can be traced back to the 14th century in the region of Tuscany.
Pappardelle is considered to be a bit of treat during the winter months. Because there is so much pasta to cover, pappardelle is served with rich, thick and flavorful game meat based sauces, like wild boar.
