Question by CassandraM: I have a recipe for chicken with sweet pepper sauce, and it calls for 1 lb. tagliatelle. What is THAT?
If you know what this is and have used it in recipes before, I would appreciate knowing whether you liked it, and what it tastes like. (Sweet? Bitter? Smoky? Nutty?….) Thanks!

Its a shape of pasta, more like a thick spaghetti noodle, or fettuccine noodle.

Tagliatelle is a kind of pasta, just like spaghetti, but it’s just flat instead of round (the strip). It has a neutral taste, just like other pasta.
It’s a shape of pasta. It’s wider than linguine, but not as wide as fettucine.
Tagliatelle
Tagliatelle /taʎʎa’tɛl-le/ is the classic pasta of the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. Individually, they are long, flat ribbons, similar in shape to fettuccine, but typically about 0.65cm to 1cm (0.25 to 0.375 inches) wide. They can be served with a variety of sauces, though the classic is a meat sauce or Bolognese sauce.
Since tagliatelle are generally made as fresh pasta, the texture is porous and rough, making it ideal for thick sauces, generally made with beef, veal, or pork, and occasionally with rabbit, as well as several other less rich (and more vegetarian) options; such as briciole e noci (with breadcrumbs and nuts), uovo e formaggio (with eggs and cheese – a less rich carbonara), or simply pomodoro e basilico (with tomatoes and basil).
hope this helps. enjoy.
