As soon as the degree of moisture allows it, roll the leaf up to form a crumpled wicker wide cm. 8. 

Then proceed to slicing the pasta in equal parts of mm. 6.5 to 7; then rolls the Tagliatella wrapping it in one hand, forming the "nests of pasta".

In the meantime, it will boil the water in a container of about three liters, pouring two tablespoons of salt.
When the water is in the boil, the Noodles will be immersed, keeping them separated by a fork.
After about three minutes, the Tagliatelle, to not drown, will emerge on the surface.

Curiosity about the Tagliatelle


The measure of Bolognese noodles has been decreed: 

  in 8 mm. (cooked), ie 6.5 to 7 mm. that raw
(any other measure would lose its particular character)
which corresponds 
to the 12,270th part of the height of the Torre Asinelli of Bologna!

The size of the Tagliatella was reproduced in a gold standard, enclosed in a casket, with the inscription

"8 mm - Tagliatella's measure - Italian Kitchen Academy -1972"

jealously preserved to witness and protect the glorious traditions of Bolognese cuisine.
