Tagliolini

Tagliolini is a long, thin type of pasta that originates from the Italian region of Tuscany. It is made from eggs and flour, and is typically served with a sauce or in broth. The word "tagliolini" comes from the Italian word for "flakes", which refers to the way the pasta is cut.

The first documented mention of tagliolini is from the early 14th century, in a cookbook called Liber de Coquina. This book contains several recipes for dishes that were popular at the time, including a recipe for tagliolini with garlic and cheese.

Tagliolini became more widely known in the 16th century, when it was mentioned in a number of other cookbooks. The most famous of these is probably Bartolomeo Scappi's Opera dell'arte del cucinare, published in 1570. This book contains a recipe for tagliolini with butter and Parmesan cheese, which is still a popular way to serve the pasta today.

Advice

When making tagliolini, it is important to make sure you use the freshest ingredients available. Fresh eggs and quality pasta flour will ensure the dough is flavorful and light. Also, it is important to knead the dough for several minutes until it is smooth and elastic. When cutting the pasta, use a knife or a pasta machine to get the desired shape and thickness. Lastly, do not overcook the tagliolini as it will become mushy. Cook it just until it is al dente and then enjoy your delicious homemade tagliolini!
