Also known as: tagliatella

Long flat ribbons of pasta from Emilia-Romagna; the Bologna tagliatella deposited in 1972 is 8 mm wide when cooked.

Tagliatelle are long flat ribbons of pasta. De Cecco says they originate in the northern regions of Italy, especially in the culinary tradition of Emilia-Romagna, and are eaten all over Italy.

In Bologna the "golden measure" of the authentic tagliatella was deposited with the Chamber of Commerce on 16 April 1972, when the collaboration between the Chamber and the Accademia Italiana della Cucina began. According to the Biblioteca Salaborsa of the City of Bologna, Francesco Majani and Alcino Cesari filed the recipe and measure on behalf of the Accademia: the tagliatella should be 8 mm wide cooked and about 7 mm raw.

Under Italian law (DPR 187/2001, art. 8), egg pasta is made from semolina and at least four whole hen's eggs, no less than 200 g of egg per kilogram of semolina. De Cecco sells tagliatelle both ways: n° 203 (cooking time 5 minutes) and n° 104 all'uovo in 250 g packs (cooking time 3 minutes).

De Cecco says tagliatelle go with all types of condiments: oven-baked dishes, fish and shellfish sauces, and butter or white sauces made from soft cheeses and cream with curry or saffron.
