Tagliatelle (Italian: [taʎʎaˈtɛlle] ⓘ; from the Italian word tagliare, meaning 'to cut') are a traditional type of pasta from the Italian regions of Emilia-Romagna and Marche. Individual pieces of tagliatelle are long, flat ribbons that are similar in shape to fettuccine and are traditionally about 6 mm (1⁄4 in) wide. Tagliatelle can be served with a variety of sauces, though the classic is a meat sauce or Bolognese sauce.
Tagliatelle are traditionally made with egg pasta. The traditional ratio is one egg to one hundred grams of flour.
