Pappardelle with Artichoke & Parmesan

Pappardelle are wide ribbon noodles cut from fresh pasta. You will need a simple hand-cranked pasta machine to make them. The procedure is not difficult and fresh pasta does taste nicer in the dishes for which it was always intended. That being said, dried pasta is not an inferior product – just a different way of dealing with the same base material.

Quag’s use fresh artichokes, but you can substitute the best-quality cooked ones you can buy bottled in olive oil – carciofi alla Roma
