Tagliatelle

Pasta that, like fettuccine, is long ribbons of egg pasta, but slightly narrower than fettuccine. Italians will often use Tagliatelle with a meat sauce.

In North America, usually sold curled in "nests."

For a southern-Italian version of Tagliatelle with no egg in the dough, see Lagana.
