tagliatelle

Bolognese's pasta partner

Tagliatelle is a type of pasta cut into long, flat ribbons, similar to fettuccine but typically slightly wider.

It originates from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy and is traditionally served with rich meat sauces like bolognese.

The name comes from the Italian word for "to cut," describing how the pasta is made by rolling dough thin and slicing it into strips.

Fresh tagliatelle with wild mushrooms is the house specialty.
