Pasta Partners Kit - Pappardelle Carbonara with Kale & Pancetta
A Pasta Born in Tuscan Hunting Lodges
Pappardelle—derived from the Italian verb "pappare" (to gobble up)—has been a centerpiece of Tuscan cuisine since the Renaissance. These wide, elegant ribbons (traditionally 2-3 cm wide) were created to capture and hold rich, hearty sauces from wild game hunts in the forests of central Italy.
Legend traces pappardelle to the court of the Medici family in 16th-century Florence, where it graced the tables of nobility paired with wild boar ragù and hare sauce. The pasta's substantial width and delicate egg dough made it the perfect vehicle for the robust flavors of Tuscan hunting season—a tradition that continues today.
Unlike its thinner cousins, pappardelle's broad surface area and slightly ruffled edges create the ideal texture to embrace thick, luxurious sauces, making each bite a perfect balance of pasta and topping.
The Perfect Marriage of Italian & French Culinary Traditions
Experience the elegance of wide ribbon pappardelle paired with our signature Beau Monde seasoning blend—a sophisticated French spice mix that elevates simple pasta into restaurant-quality cuisine. This kit honors pappardelle's Renaissance roots while adding a distinctly American twist through Mid-Century French-inspired seasoning.
What's Inside:
100% Durum Wheat Semolina Pappardelle – Authentic Italian ribbon pasta with the perfect texture to hold rich sauces
Beau Monde Seasoning Blend – A harmonious combination of black & white pepper, kosher salt, ground bay leaf, cinnamon, nutmeg, celery seed, and cloves
The Story:
"Beau Monde" (French for "beautiful world") is a classic Mid-Century American seasoning blend that adds depth and complexity to creamy pasta dishes. Its warm, aromatic notes perfectly complement the richness of carbonara while balancing the earthiness of mushrooms and kale—a modern interpretation of the hearty Tuscan tradition.
Pappardelle Carbonara with Kale and Pancetta - Serves 2
- 8oz Pappardelle
- 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/4 cup Pancetta or Bacon, chopped
- 1 tbsp Single Cream/Half and Half
- 1 Egg
- 1 cup chopped Kale or Arugula
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 tsp + 1 pinch Beau Monde Seasoning (included)
- Parmesan cheese, grated- 2-3 tbsp.
Place a pan of lightly salted water over high heat to bring to a boil. Sprinkle a pinch of Beau Monde into the water. Add pappardelle to boiling water. Cook pasta to taste, then drain well. Meanwhile, fry the pancetta and mushrooms, add kale to it in the last minute just to wilt it. Set aside.
Beat the egg with a fork and add 1 tsp Beau Monde and grated parmesan to it. Drain the pasta, reserving ½ cup of water and add pasta to the pan with pancetta and arugula. Mix everything over low heat with a spoonful of cream to coat.
Take your pasta off the heat and mix in the egg and cheese mixture tossing the pasta gently, add a splash of reserved water to keep things slightly runny but it shouldn't be swimming in sauce. Serve with more freshly grated parmesan cheese.
