Pappardelle is a variety of ribbon pasta that is flat and much wider than, say, fettuccine.
Usually served with hearty sauces and bits of game meat, pappardelle pasta recipes are super satisfying and family friendly.
Of course, not everyone has access to wild boar, so I've found many different versions for you to try, including recipes with duck, sausage, and a selection of succulent seafood.
Let's delve into!
Ragu normally has a meat-based sauce, but this one is completely vegetarian. That said, you won't believe how on point their meaty flavors are!
The secret is in the combination of woody portobello mushrooms and earthy rosemary. Together these two create a masterpiece.
The glorious dish is finished off with shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano.
It looks and tastes like it came straight out of an Italian restaurant, but in reality, it only takes 30 minutes, start to finish.
The Arrabbiata sauce is a must try if you like your pappardelle with a little (or a lot) of heat.
Please don't be intimidated by its fancy name. Arrabbiata is really just a simple sauce made with tomatoes, garlic, and red chillies in olive oil.
Look, this is the best of Italian cuisine. It uses very few ingredients, but that just means they can shine without being overpowered.
As long as you use fresh, good quality ingredients, you'll do great!

Finished with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, it's a hearty yet refreshing dish that's perfect for summer.

Top the pasta dish with a dollop of sour cream and enjoy.
Elevate the classic carbonara with just two simple additions: pancetta and arugula.
The beautiful thing about carbonara is that while it's fantastic as it is, it's also so easy to animate.

Oh, and the splash of color they add to the all-white plate also gives it more pizzazz.
