Tagliatelle Nido Pasta IGP 500g

Garofalo Tagliatelle Nido is a long, flat ribbon pasta made from highly selected durum wheat semolina, produced in Gragnano, Italy under IGP (Protected Geographical Indication) certification. "Nido" means nest — a reference to the way the tagliatelle is wound into individual portions before drying, a format that makes the pasta easy to handle, portion, and cook consistently. Garofalo's version is a considered reinterpretation of the classic shape: the ribbon is broader and thicker than a standard tagliatelle, giving it a more substantial presence on the plate and a rough, dense consistency that adds flavour to every dish.

Bronze-die cut for a thick, textured ribbon. Drawn through traditional bronze dies, the surface of each strand develops a naturally rough texture that holds sauce along the full length of the ribbon. The thickness of the pasta — more pronounced than many tagliatelle formats — gives it structural integrity during cooking and a satisfying bite at the table. At just 7 minutes cooking time, it is one of the faster formats in the Garofalo range, making it an efficient choice for professional kitchens where service speed matters without sacrificing quality.

Versatile, well-portioned, and built for rich sauces. The nest format makes Tagliatelle Nido particularly practical for restaurant and catering use — individual nests portion cleanly and cook evenly, reducing waste and improving consistency across covers. Supplied by Sapori in a 12 x 500g case, it is a refined and dependable choice for restaurants, delis, and wholesale accounts across Cape Town and the Western Cape seeking authentic IGP-certified Italian pasta with genuine Gragnano provenance.
