Egg Pasta & Gnocchi Guide
Egg pasta and gnocchi are the comfort food of Italian Sunday lunch. They cook fast and feel special, so they are perfect for date nights and dinner guests.
Tagliatelle with egg
Flat, golden ribbons that pair with rich sauces. Toss Néssi Tagliatelle with Egg with butter and Parmigiano, a mushroom cream sauce or a slow-cooked Bolognese.
Tagliatelle with egg and truffle
Néssi Tagliatelle with Egg and Truffle brings an earthy aroma to the plate. Keep the sauce simple so the truffle stands out: butter, a splash of pasta water and grated cheese.
Pappardelle with egg
The widest ribbon of all. Néssi Pappardelle stand up to hearty braised beef, short rib or wild mushroom ragù, which makes them great for fall and winter.
Squid ink farfalle
Dramatic black bows that look stunning on the plate. Serve squid ink farfalle with shrimp, garlic, chili and lemon, or with a simple cherry tomato sauce.
Potato gnocchi
Soft potato dumplings from Italy. Néssi Potato Gnocchi are ready when they float to the surface of boiling water. For extra texture, pan-fry boiled gnocchi in butter until golden.
- Classic: gnocchi with tomato sauce and fresh basil
- Herby: gnocchi with pesto
- Cozy: gnocchi with brown butter and sage
Cooking tips
- Egg pasta cooks faster than dried semolina pasta. Check the package time and start tasting early.
- Toss egg pasta gently: the ribbons are delicate.
- Save some pasta water to loosen butter- and cheese-based sauces.
