What is papardella?

Pappardelle is a type of pasta that originated in Tuscany, Italy. It is a long, flat pasta noodle that is wider than fettuccine and often has a rough surface texture that helps to trap sauces and flavors. Pappardelle is typically made with durum wheat flour and eggs, which give it a rich flavor and a slightly chewy texture. It is commonly served with hearty meat-based sauces such as ragù or bolognese, as well as with creamy sauces like alfredo. Pappardelle is also used in dishes like lasagna and cannelloni.
