Also Known As Depending on width, fettuccelle ricche, frese, lasagne doppio festone, lasagnette, mafaldine, mezze lasagne, nastri, nastrini, reginelle, sciabò, sciablò, si gnorine, tagliatelle nervate, and tripolini.

How Served As pastasciutta, typically with a sauce of hare or rabbit.

Where Found Throughout Italy, but particularly in Tuscany.

The ruffled edge(s) have the practical purpose of collecting the sauce, but are also reminiscent of the crown worn by queens and princesses in the popular imagination.
