Mafaldine, also known as reginette (Italian for 'little queens') or simply mafalda or mafalde, is a type of ribbon-shaped pasta.
History
It comes from the Naples area, where they were once called fettuccelle ricce.[1] Mafaldine were named in honor of the birth of Princess Mafalda of Savoy (thus the alternative name "little queens").[2]
Mafaldine is prepared similarly to other ribbon-based pasta such as linguine and fettuccine. It is flat and wide, usually about 1 cm (½ inch) in width, with wavy edges on both sides with a curl at the ends that remains well defined even after cooking.[3]
Tripoline
Tripoline (Italian: [tripoˈliːne]) is a type of ribbon pasta noodles, similar to mafaldine. It is a thick ribbon ridged on one side,[4] and is often found in baked pasta dishes.
It is believed that this pasta shape originated in the Campania region,[5] where according to popular tradition, it was created in Naples in honour of King Victor Emmanuel II.
