Pappardelle

Pappardelle recipes have a long and storied history. The dish is said to have originated in the 14th century in the Tuscan city of Florence. The name comes from the Italian word for "butterfly," which is thought to refer to the shape of the pasta.

Pappardelle recipes were traditionally made with a simple combination of flour, water and eggs. The dough was then rolled out into thin sheets and cut into thin strips. The strips were then cooked in boiling water until they were tender.

Pappardelle recipes became popular in the United States in the 19th century, when Italian immigrants began to settle in large numbers in cities like New York and Boston. In the 20th century, the dish became even more popular, thanks in part to the popularity of Italian-American cuisine.

Advice

Making pappardelle is a simple and rewarding process. Start by combining the flour and salt in a bowl and making a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well and use a fork to slowly start to incorporate the eggs into the flour. Once the eggs are incorporated, start to knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. When kneading the dough, use a light dusting of flour to keep it from sticking to your hands. Once the dough is ready, roll it into a thin sheet, then cut into thin strips. Lastly, cook the pappardelle in boiling salted water for a few minutes and serve with your favorite sauce - enjoy!
