Did you know?
- Traditionally, tagliatelle are served with ragù alla bolognese. While Americans call this 'Bolognese sauce', in Italy, the sauce is historically a meat stew designed specifically for these wide ribbons rather than for spaghetti.
- The word tagliatelle comes from the Italian verb tagliare, which means 'to cut'. This describes the traditional method of creating the pasta by cutting ribbons of dough with a knife.
- While tagliatelle are similar to fettuccine, they are historically distinct based on region. Tagliatelle are a specialty of Emilia-Romagna, whereas fettuccine are traditional to Rome.
