Wide noodles are one of the most beloved pasta shapes in Central European cuisine. Their broad, ribbon-like form and rich, egg-based texture make them perfect for absorbing a variety of sauces, from hearty ragùs to creamy mushroom or cheese-based dishes.

A staple in many households, they are enjoyed both homemade and store-bought, appearing at family gatherings and festive occasions. Their versatility allows them to pair well with slow-cooked meats, buttery sauces, and full-bodied wines, making them a cherished part of the region’s culinary tradition.
