What it is

This pasta is made from durum wheat semolina and water, a traditional combination for dried pasta. Its shape is designed to hold sauces well, making it a versatile choice for many dishes. The pasta cooks to an al dente texture, providing a satisfying bite.

To cook Agnesi I Tagliolini, 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 until al dente, which means it should be tender but still have a slight firmness when bitten. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss the drained tagliolini immediately with your chosen sauce, adding a little reserved pasta water if needed to achieve the desired consistency. Serve hot.
