It’s true that some of the simplest foods in the world are the most delicious—but simple doesn’t always mean easy. Take pappardelle pasta, for instance. These noodles make the most of their uncomplicated flavor profile, allowing the stronger flavors the sauces that typically accompany them to shine through. But making pappardelle from scratch can be a drawn-out, labor-intensive affair. That’s precisely where Trader Joe’s Organic Pappardelle Pasta Nests come in. They’re brought to us by one of the most highly-regarded pasta makers in Italy, who doesn’t just put in the hard work of crafting each batch of Pappardelle Pasta Nests into the tender, delectable noodles that they are — they also mill their very own local, organic, durum wheat semolina to do so. They then divide them into easily-portioned, dry bundles to make at-home preparation a breeze: simply cook two to three Nests per person in boiling water for 12 to 13 minutes, then drain. From there, you’re free to toss them in your favorite sauce—we tend to prefer something creamy and savory, like our Cacio E Pepe Sauce —and save the Nests you don’t use for another dinner, another day. Trader Joe’s Pappardelle Pasta Nests are convenient, delicious, and a remarkable value for pasta of this quality—in other words, they’re simply amazing.
