pappardelle
Wide Italian ribbons
Pappardelle are broad, flat ribbons of pasta, typically about an inch wide.
The noodles are traditionally served with rich, hearty sauces—especially meat ragùs—where their wide surface catches chunks of braised meat: pappardelle with wild boar ragù.
The word is Italian and usually treated as plural.
