Pappardelle – Filotea – Egg Pasta – Italy

Filotea pappardelle is a wonderful egg pasta made in the traditional manner in Italy. The Filotea pasta company makes delightful egg pasta with painstaking attention to detail. Everything from the eggs, flours and process. (See Artisan info below for more information.) They utilize traditional bronze dies and a very slow controlled drying process. The result is beautiful pasta that has perfect toothsome qualities and cooks to a perfect al dente in a matter of about 6 minutes! Every time. You will not believe the difference in the taste and texture of real Italian pasta.

Keep a few boxes on hand for quick dinner or to bring as a hostess gift with a jar of pesto or sauce.

Cook pasta, drain and then toss with red pesto with truffle (do save a cupful of the pasta cooking water to add in as you toss with the pasta--it will make your pasta silky). Add any extras you like (mushrooms, artichoke, grass-fed beef), but all you really need is Parmesan and a glass of wine! That isn't so hard, is it?
