In the Mainardi family workshop, tagliatelle and tagliolini are made by hand, exactly as tradition dictates. Short pasta is drawn through bronze dies to obtain that specific surface roughness of artisan products, ideal for collecting and retaining the sauce. The pasta is then dried slowly and at low temperatures, for at least twenty hours. Thus, it retains its nutrients, organoleptic properties and a perfect taste.

The pasta is boiled for about 8-10 minutes in boiling salted water and then the ready-made pasta sauces are added to taste. A quantity of 250g is sufficient for 2 people.
