16 Best Italian Tagliolini Recipe Choices for Home Cooking

The thin pasta shape used in Italian Tagliolini recipes comes from the northwest Italian region of Piedmont, especially the Langhe area, which is just south of Alba.

Locals call this pasta shape “tajarin,” and it’s a favorite in most Tagliolini recipes. It’s been a part of the Piedmontese culinary tradition for a long time because of its rich dough made with egg yolks, which goes well with smoother and slightly thinner pasta sauces, especially a traditional white truffle sauce made with highly prized ingredients from the area.

Tagliolini, which are also called Tajarin, are a type of fresh egg pasta that comes from Piedmont, especially the Langhe area. Tagliolini are long, thin, and deep yellow because they have a lot of egg yolk. They are served with rich sauces made from meat, like roast sauce, or with butter, cheese, and a few slices of truffles.

Not to be confused with tagliatelle, which is also egg pasta cut into ribbons but is not the same thing. Many Tagliolini recipes can be very similar to tagliatelle recipes. Since “taglia” means “cut” in Italian, you can figure out what makes them different from each other just by looking at their names.

Tagliatelle is usually around 3 mm thick and 6 mm wide, while Tagliolini is only about 1 mm thick and 3 mm wide (ever so slightly thicker than capellini). Also, even though both are called “egg pasta,” Tagliolini dough is usually made with only egg yolks.

This makes it clear why any Italian would be angry if you called these two shapes of pasta the same thing.

We know you will love the Tagliolini recipe featured in this Saltbush and Squid Ink Tagliolini with Crab and Finger Lime dish.

With squid ink to color half of our pasta, it made sense to feature some fishy stuff (yes, technically crustaceany stuff) for the final dish. So little Al selected some fine looking blue swimmer crabs, or blue manna as we used to call them back home, to form the basis for our sauce.

The other half of our pasta is flavored with good old Aussie saltbush, and we couldn’t resist teaming this up with a generous and colorful handful of finger lime.

8. Tagliolini Alla Parmigiana from Lucas Italy

8. Tagliolini alla Parmigiana Recipes

What I love about this Tagliolini recipe is the freshness that the tomatoes bring, making it seem like a late-summer rather than early autumn dish. Tomatoes of all varieties will be going out of season in the next few weeks, so what better way to say goodbye to them?

The combination of the prosciutto and the cheese goes back centuries, if not millennia. It’s a comforting taste, a real umami burst, that medieval Italians would have been familiar with and really helps you to connect to the timelessness of Italian cuisine. (The tomatoes of course would have come a lot later.)
