Egg-Free Extra Broad Ribbons
What it is
This is a pasta product made without any egg ingredients. It is shaped into wide, flat ribbons, often referred to as fettuccine or tagliatelle. The pasta is enriched, meaning certain nutrients have been added back during the manufacturing process. This product is suitable for those avoiding eggs or following a plant-based diet.
How people cook with it
These broad ribbons are versatile and can be paired with a variety of sauces.
- With creamy sauces
- In baked pasta dishes
- Tossed with vegetables
- As a base for hearty ragu
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions, typically around 10-12 minutes, until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the cooking water. Return the drained pasta to the pot or a serving dish. Toss immediately with your chosen sauce, adding a little reserved pasta water if needed to help the sauce coat the ribbons evenly. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional egg noodles or fettuccine, this product contains no eggs, making it a suitable option for individuals with egg allergies or those adhering to vegan or vegetarian lifestyles. The broad ribbon shape holds sauces well.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused pasta in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Ensure the container is sealed to prevent moisture absorption and pest infestation. Proper storage will help maintain the pasta's quality and prevent it from becoming stale.
