Pappardelle with roasted zucchini is a quick and easy vegetarian pasta dish. If zucchini is
not one of your favorite vegetables, one can substitute asparagus, broccoli, or another
roasted vegetable. You may also add some cooked shrimp or chicken for some protein.
Pappardelle is a ribbon pasta, similar to fettuccine, that is about 3/4 to 1-inch wide.
The generous size of the pasta is ideal with hearty sauces and ragus. The origin of
pappardelle is attributed to Italy's central-southern regions, especially Tuscany, where
pappardelle is used in many traditional dishes. You can purchase dried pappardelle in the
supermarket; Barilla is one brand of commercial pasta that makes pappardelle. You can
also make it yourself using the Egg Pasta with Semolina Flour dough recipe.
