Artisan Pappardelle Pasta
What it is
This is a package of artisan pappardelle pasta. Pappardelle is a type of pasta that is characterized by its wide, flat ribbons. This particular pasta is made using a bronze die extrusion process. This method creates a rougher surface texture on the pasta. The rough texture helps sauces adhere better to the pasta. It is made from plant-based ingredients.
How people cook with it
Pappardelle is a versatile pasta shape that pairs well with a variety of rich and hearty sauces. Its broad surface area makes it ideal for capturing chunky ingredients.
- With rich meat sauces
- Tossed with creamy mushroom sauces
- Served with seafood ragu
- As a base for baked pasta dishes
To cook this pappardelle, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions, usually around 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Al dente means the pasta is tender but still has a slight bite. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss immediately with your prepared sauce, adding a little reserved pasta water if needed to create a smooth, emulsified sauce that coats the noodles beautifully.
How it differs from similar foods
The bronze die process used to make this pappardelle results in a porous surface. This is different from pasta made with Teflon dies, which tend to have a smoother, glossier finish. The rougher texture of bronze die pasta is excellent for holding onto sauces, making each bite more flavorful.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused pasta in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Ensure the container is well-sealed to prevent moisture from entering. This will help maintain the pasta's quality and prevent it from becoming stale or absorbing odors from the pantry.
