egg pasta

Rich Italian noodles

Egg pasta is pasta made with eggs in the dough, giving it a richer flavor and more golden color than water-based varieties.

Fresh fettuccine, tagliatelle, and filled pastas like ravioli are typically egg pastas.

The eggs add protein and fat, creating a silkier texture that pairs well with cream and butter sauces.
