Pappardelle (ribbon noodles a la “wedding noodles”) – isn’t that a pretty name?
I suspect the name comes from the Italian verb “pappare” – colloquially it means something like “to feed”. Makes some sense too. I can never get enough of pappardelle and I devour it.

Pappardelle are ultimately nothing more than tagliatelle, with the only difference being that they are much wider. While tagliatelle are usually between 6 and 8 mm wide, if they are a little over 1 cm wide they can be called pappardelle. Originally, these noodles were always prepared with eggs. But as always: Whatever you like and taste good is allowed.

Why bronze:
Bronze dies were the traditional way of making pasta. The pasta made “al bronzo” can only be found rarely and usually only in selected delicatessens.
By pressing the pasta dough through the bronze dies, the surface of the pasta is slightly roughened and the pasta becomes more grippy. This allows the pasta to absorb the sauce, flavors and spices better later.

Storage:
Do you have several bronze matrices and are you looking for storage to protect the matrix from dust and darkening due to the effects of light? Then we recommend our storage systems, which you can also find in our range.
