PAPPARDELLE VS TAGLIATELLE: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

The key difference between pappardelle and tagliatelle is in their shape and size. While pappardelle are generally large, broad and flat in shape, tagliatelle are longer, thinner ribbons. Pappardelle originate from Tuscany, while tagliatelle are from the Emilia-Romagna and Marche regions of Italy.

WHAT SHOULD I SERVE PAPPARDELLE WITH?

The wide, flat shape and rough, porous surface of pappardelle makes them the perfect companion to a hearty meat sauce. The most traditional Tuscan dish is pappardelle with wild boar ragù.
