Wide tagliatelle ribbons are the right pasta to have with Bolognese anyway, Italians wouldn't entertain the thought of spaghetti with ragu, it's all wrong.
And buy a decent premium brand of pasta, not Tescos Economy. Makes a world of difference.
Absolutely. The most important thing is the type and quality of pasta. The ingredients and cooking comes second. Get the pasta wrong and things begin to slide.
My first trip to Italy and I was blown away by taste and texture of pasta and how the sauces get infused. I tried to time my boiling and realised that it is not same for various types of brand.
Love their food - One of the holy trinity with the French and Japanese.
