- Pappardelle pasta can be found in the fresh pasta section of many well-stocked supermarkets, gourmet food shops, or Italian markets. You can also cook lasagna noodles and then cut them into ½-inch strips with a pizza cutter. Or, simply go with your favorite type of pasta.
- Cipolline onions can be found in the produce section of many well-stocked supermarkets and definitely at fresh produce markets. They are sometimes called 'boiler onions' or 'spring onions.' If you can't find them, you could go with pearl onions, but we recommend peeling them first.
- We recommend using a combination of fresh herbs for the dish. We used tarragon in the video, which is wonderful but does have a slight (but distinct) licorice taste. If using dried herbs, only use 1 teaspoon of each.
- Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Gently reheat on the stove in a skillet until heated through. The dish does not freeze well.
