Barilla pappardelle (dry, uncooked) Calories

Use a large pot of generously salted, boiling water so the wide Barilla pappardelle ribbons have room to move. Stir shortly after adding them, then drain once tender; crowded pasta is more likely to stick together.

Barilla pappardelle pairs well with substantial sauces that cling to its broad ribbons, such as slow-cooked meat ragù, mushroom sauce, or tomato-based vegetable sauce. Toss the drained pasta with the sauce briefly before serving.

Barilla pappardelle is made with durum wheat semolina and egg. Those ingredients give the dry pasta its structure and wide-ribbon shape; its egg content means it is not suitable for people avoiding eggs.

Barilla pappardelle ribbons are wider than tagliatelle. Both are long, flat pastas, but the wider surface of pappardelle makes it especially suited to hearty sauces that cling to broad strands.

Pappardelle is traditionally associated with Tuscany in central Italy. Barilla pappardelle brings this broad-ribbon pasta style to home cooking, where it is often served with rich meat ragù or other robust sauces.

Usually, no. Rinsing Barilla pappardelle washes away surface starch that helps sauce cling to the ribbons. Drain it without rinsing for a hot pasta dish; rinsing can make sense if you are using it in a cold pasta salad.

Keep opened Barilla pappardelle in a cool, dry place in an airtight container or tightly sealed package. Protecting the dry pasta from moisture helps it stay in good condition until you cook it.

Cooked Barilla pappardelle keeps for about 3–4 days in the refrigerator when stored in a covered container. Refrigerate it promptly, and reheat it with a little sauce or water to keep the ribbons from drying out.

Yes, you can freeze cooked Barilla pappardelle, though the ribbons may be softer after thawing. Cool and portion the pasta into an airtight container, then reheat it thoroughly with sauce for a more even texture.
