Our homemade pasta: tagliolini with duck bolognese and ravioli with burrata and prawns

There are six pasta dishes on the Campisi's Benalmádena menu, and two of them are described as homemade: tagliolini with slow-cooked duck bolognese, and ravioli with burrata, prawns and lemon. Here we explain what these pastas are, where they come from and how our menu presents them.

Homemade tagliolini with duck bolognese

This is how they appear on the menu: Tagliolini caseros, homemade tagliolini with slow-cooked duck bolognese. Price: €15.00 (VAT included).

What are tagliolini?

Tagliolini are a long, ribbon-shaped pasta, narrower than tagliatelle. They are traditional in several Italian regions; in Piedmont they are known as tajarin and are served with butter and sage as well as with meat ragù.

Duck bolognese

'Bolognese' refers to ragù alla bolognese, the meat sauce from Bologna. Duck has its own tradition in Italian ragùs too: in Tuscany it is served with pappardelle and, in the Veneto, with bigoli, a long, thick pasta. On our menu, the bolognese is a duck bolognese, served with the homemade tagliolini.

What does 'slow-cooked' mean?

Slow cooking means cooking at a moderate, controlled temperature for longer than in conventional cooking. The Spanish version of our menu says a baja temperatura, literally 'at low temperature'.

Low-temperature cooking also features in one other dish on the menu, the slow-cooked pork tenderloin, and duck returns among the mains as duck leg confit.

Homemade ravioli with burrata, prawns and lemon

This is how they appear on the menu: Ravioli caseros, homemade ravioli with burrata, prawns and lemon. Price: €16.00 (VAT included).

What are ravioli?

Ravioli are one of Italy's classic filled pastas: small pieces of pasta dough that enclose a filling and are sealed at the edges.

What is burrata?

Burrata is a fresh cheese from Apulia, in southern Italy. On the outside it is a pouch of stretched-curd cheese, made with the same technique as mozzarella; inside, it holds stracciatella, shreds of cheese mixed with cream.

In our homemade ravioli, burrata comes together with prawns and lemon. You will also find it among the antipasti, in the cherry tomato, burrata and pesto salad.

The pasta on our menu: primi piatti

On our menu, the pasta dishes make up the primi piatti section. In the classic structure of an Italian meal, the primo (usually pasta, rice or soup) comes after the antipasti and before the secondo of meat or fish.

Besides the homemade tagliolini and ravioli, our primi piatti are:

• Spaghetti alla carbonara, spaghetti carbonara, the Italian way
• Lasagna classica della tradizione, classic traditional lasagne
• Tagliatelle alla bolognese, tagliatelle with bolognese sauce
• Spaghetti ai frutti di mare, seafood spaghetti

You can see the prices in the pasta section of the menu and find out more on our Italian pasta in Benalmádena page.
