Wild boar not be the first gourmet goodie that pops into mind when you think of Florence, but it does enjoy a place of local pride in many a neighborhood trattoria. Typically available during the colder autumn and winter months, I myself have delighted in many a dish of steaming fresh egg papardelle with a riotously rich tomato sauce studded with pieces of boar loin throughout my dish. It's one of the dishes of my childhood, and one that I've passed on to my own children with great success.
The richness of fresh handmade egg pappardelle provides the perfect partner in crime for the dense, woody aromas of boar, and while this dish might not be your go-to fresh pasta recipe for mid-August, it become a coveted family recipe to make in the heart of winter. A dish that lets you show your own heart in the kitchen, while bringing a little international flavor to the table.
Following the Mamablip recipe, learn how to prepare fresh egg pappardelle, and if you feel like experimenting, try pairing another meat-based sauce with this Italian noodle and see how it all pans out. Be sure to match this classic Italian pasta recipe with a full-bodied, handsome red wine - might we suggest a fabulous Chianti wine while we stay on a Tuscany trend?!
Let us know on our social media pages what you think of this recipe and if you've got any tricks you used to make the cooking process all your own!

Step

1

Of 3

Make pasta dough

In medium bowl, blend semola flour with eggs, knead to reach soft, smooth consistency that holds its shape with formed into ball.

Continue kneading dough with palm of your hand on floured working surface. Keep kneading until dough is soft, elastic, and compact. Shape dough into ball, cover with plastic wrap to maintain elasticity. Allow to rest at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.

Remove plastic wrap, continue kneading dough while shaping into rectangle form approximately the width of pasta machine you’ll be using. Begin rolling out dough using prepared pasta machine, generously dusting machine with semola to prevent dough from sticking to machine. Flatten dough through machine until desired thickness is reached, adjusting knobs to make dough thinner each times it passes through machine.

Dust both sides well of dough well with semola flour and roll dough lengthwise into small rolls, place onto wooden cutting board. Using sharp knife, cut each roll into large slices about 2-3cm thick. Unroll pappardelle to avoid sticking. Wrap into nest shapes and place onto wooden cutting board or plastic-lined kitchen tray well-dusted with semola.
