Directions
Pappardelle is an egg pasta format that you can prepare at home without difficulty. The dough is made of eggs only, preferably yellow eggs and flour.
The color of the eggs depends solely on what the animal eats (unlike the color of the shells, which varies by breed) and does not affect the organoleptic properties of the food. As flour, choose type 00, which is best for this type of preparation: there is no leavening so you do not need a strong flour capable of absorbing liquids and retaining carbon dioxide, aspects that give leavened doughs volume and elasticity.
Start incorporating the ingredients with a fork, then help yourself with a tarot (a kind of rectangular shaped spatula) and finish with the palms of your hands. The most delicate part of the whole process is the rolling out of the dough, which should reach an even thickness of about 1 to 2 mm (depending on the size you want to obtain).
