In the province of Forlì-Cesena, a small square of egg dough becomes a garganello through the work of a stick and comb. Notice the join and the ridges before cooking: they make the hand-formed structure easier to understand.
Squares of egg pasta roll around a stick over a comb, which impresses transverse ridges.
A regional recipe combines garganelli with tuna, vegetables, tomato and basil. Try that fish-and-vegetable direction for an accompaniment documented by Emilia-Romagna’s agriculture department.

Keep the storage instructions supplied with your garganelli, particularly when buying an unpackaged portion. Ask the seller to include the ingredient list and date.
