Bavette (pasta)

Bavette are a type of pasta. They are a ribbon noodle narrower than tagliatelle, with a cross-section like flattened spaghetti, similar to linguine. This type of pasta originated in the Italian city of Genoa, and is the most typical Ligurian pasta shape. Bavette is arguably one of the more ancient types of long pasta. The dish is frequently paired with traditional pesto sauces, but also pairs well with vegetables.
