Pappardelle is a type of pasta that is more suited to stronger flavours. It has its traditional roots in Tuscany, where it is paired with full-bodied sauces with a base of hare and wild boar. Pappardelle pasta is very similar to tagliatelle, but broader (around 12mm), lending a full flavour both in terms of taste and touch.
La Pasta di Aldo is slightly rough in texture. This is due to how porous the product is. Heston Blumenthal notes that La Pasta di Aldo pasta is "so porous that if you leave it next to cheese, it will absorb the smell". It is this characteristic that sets this pasta apart, it can absorb sauces and flavours like no other pasta can. It is full-bodied enough to stand up to robust sauces and flavours and yet light enough to not over-shadow them.
Ingredients
Durum wheat semolina, eggs (32%)
