Ingredients For the white pasta, durum-wheat flour, eggs, and water; for the green pasta, durum-wheat flour, eggs, water, and spinach.
How Made Relatively thin factory-made tagliolini (see entry for tagliatelle, tagliolini), with each package containing half white pasta and half green pasta. They are boiled in abundant salted water.
Also Known As No alternative names.
How Served Generally as pastasciutta, with a hearty local ragĂą and a grating of cheese, usually parmigiano.
The name means literally “straw and hay.” This is a relatively recent pasta, given that it does not appear in Rovetta’s manual,182 which lists the factory-made pasta shapes found in Italy. Thin tagliolini appear already dried and formed into a nest, but not colored.
