How To Choose the Right Pappardelle Pasta

Tips for Choosing the Right Pappardelle pasta with spicy sauce.

  • When selecting Pappardelle pasta with spicy sauce such as chili garlic pasta. Dried and fresh pappardelle are very good.
  • Fresh pappardelle is very soft and tender with quick cooking times whereas dried pappardelle is less supple and well suited to heavy, rich pasta sauces.
  • Pasta made of eggs is the most suitable one since it makes it rich and helps the sauce to stick to every ribbon of pasta. Make sure that the label has quality ingredients such as durum wheat and eggs etc and shun any pasta that has artificial ingredients.
  • Trusted brands are De Cecco, Barilla Collezione, Rustichella dAbruzzo and Buitoni (which has fresh pasta). 
  • Other great sub options are wide egg noodles, fettuccine and tagliatelle when you can not find pappardelle. Thin pasta such as angel hair should be avoided because they will not be able to hold the thick sauce.

INGREDIENTS for Pappardelle pasta with spicy sauce

Chili Garlic Pappardelle (For 2 Servings)

  • 4 ounces of egg pappardelle
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 ½ teaspoons honey
  • 1 ½ teaspoons chili crisp (more if desired)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons white miso
  • 1/4 cup reserved pasta cooking water
  • ½ tsp black pepper, to taste
  • 2 teaspoons chili crisp (optional, for topping)

Smashed Broccoli and Eggs

  • 1/2 head of broccoli, cut into florets (about 2 cups)
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs

INSTRUCTIONS

Step1: Broccoli: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Put the broccoli into a sheet pan; add olive oil and the salt. Cook in a roast 20-25 minutes so that it becomes soft and roasty. Smash all the florets of broccoli with the back of a wood spoon to form flat little crunchy crisps – back in the oven and roast another 5-10 minutes. You can make this dish on the broccoli using an air fryer.

Step2: Eggs: add water to the middle line. I keep the eggs in cold water, which is about 5 minutes, when they are cooked. In a normal pot, one can also cook a 6-minute egg on a stove-top.
