The La Favorita Fish flavoured tagliatelle range at Harvey Nichols includes:

Chocolate Egg Tagliatelle – A new and original flavour with a distinctive chocolate colour, this tagliatelle is not as sweet as expected. Serve with olive oil and parmesan or a spicy tomato sauce, or accentuate the chocolate with a veal based ragout.

Basil Egg Tagliatelle – Ideal for a tomato based sauce or serve alone with an extra virgin olive oil and parmesan. Alternatively, try with a light Carbonara sauce.

Strawberry and Barolo Wine Egg Tagliatelle – The red colour, typical of the Barolo, and the delicate flavour of strawberries are evocative of the tastes and fragrances that represent the Piemonte region. Boasting a delicate taste, try with a tomato sauce with capers, or roasted cherry tomatoes

Chilli and Garlic Egg Tagliatelle – For an interesting taste, combine with onions, walnuts and green beans to bring out the individual flavours.

Egg Tagliatelle with Castelmagno Cheese – a typically well matured cheese produced in a small valley of Cuneo, Castelmagno is characterised by a fullness and intensity of taste.

A traditional recipe favoured by the Piedmontese, serve with honey, pine nuts or walnuts, fresh herbs and soft cheese.

Truffle Egg Tagliatelle – this pasta is perfect with just a drizzle of good olive oil and a few truffle shavings over the top.
