Ribbon noodles are also called tagliatelle. They can be plain, or green with spinach added to the dough. Noodles make a good accompaniment for recipes with a rich sauce.
Ingredients
225 g 8 oz 25 g 1 oz - freshly milled black pepper
25–50 g 1–2 oz
Method
Add the noodles to a pan filled with plenty of boiling salted water. Bring back to the boil and cook for 12 minutes. Fork out a small piece of pasta and test by biting it – pasta when cooked should be tender but still a little chewy. Drain the noodles at once in a colander. Add the butter to the hot pan, return the noodles and add a good seasoning of freshly milled black pepper. Using two forks lift and turn the noodles in the melted butter. Tip into a hot serving dish and serve with the Parmesan cheese for sprinkling on top.
