Wide ribbons. Big comfort. Sauce-grabbing grooves - made for rich, rustic pasta nights.
Pappardelle is the pasta you reach for when you want a proper bowl of comfort. These wide ribbons (wider than tagliatelle) feature subtle surface grooves that hold onto sauce beautifully, making them ideal for rich ragù, wild mushrooms, or a classic tomato and basil.
Made by Rustichella d’Abruzzo using traditional bronze dies and slow drying, it has that artisan texture that makes even a simple sauce feel restaurant-worthy.
Because it’s a “one-pan sauce + one pot pasta” hero. Pappardelle turns everyday sauces into something special — and it’s the perfect pasta to have on hand for quick entertaining or a rustic family-style meal.
Cook until just al dente, then toss through your sauce for the last minute — the pasta will drink up flavour and the sauce will cling properly.
Allow 100–120g dry pappardelle per person for a main course.

Founded in 1924 in the Vestine hills of Abruzzo, Rustichella d’Abruzzo is one of Italy’s most respected artisan pasta makers. Using premium durum wheat, traditional bronze dies, and slow drying (up to 50 hours), they create pasta with exceptional flavour, texture, and sauce-cling — still made with the same time-honoured methods.
