Regional character

How pasta tastes in Piedmont.

Piedmont's egg pasta reflects a prosperous northern table and close attention to fine handwork. Tajarin is cut into very narrow ribbons, while agnolotti del plin is pinched into small filled parcels.

Roast meats, butter, sage and aged cheese are common partners. Truffles are celebrated but should not eclipse the everyday regional craft.
