The Spanish word tallarine translates as the Italian tagliatelle, which means a hand cut shape of pasta. Many times tallarines are a ribbon style of pasta, which is included in many of the popular pasta dishes throughout Latin America.

Just for fun, try making your tallarines using a tube shaped pasta. We loved the fun texture, and we even impressed with how delicious our Tallarines Verdes were as cold leftovers! Basil and spinach give this dish a rich, mellow flavor, and is a great way to get some of those green, leafy super foods onto your family’s dinner plate!
