What it is
This is a type of fresh pasta made with eggs and flour. It is shaped into long, flat ribbons, similar to fettuccine but typically a bit wider. The presence of eggs in the dough gives it a rich flavor and a tender texture when cooked. It is often sold refrigerated due to its fresh ingredients. This pasta is a staple in many Italian-inspired dishes.

To cook this fresh tagliatelle, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently add the pasta to the boiling water, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Fresh pasta cooks very quickly, usually in just 2 to 4 minutes. It is ready when it floats to the surface and is tender but still has a slight bite. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss immediately with your chosen sauce and serve.
