Mafaldine, also known as reginette ( Italian for 'little queens') or simply mafalda or mafalde, is a type of ribbon-shaped pasta.
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 (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]
In the 1930s, Fascist Italy celebrated its colonial empire by creating new forms of pasta reminiscent of its African possessions: tripoline ( Tripoli), bengazine ( Benghazi), assabesi ( Assab) and abissine ( Abyssinia).
