Why this dish represents Piemonte
The menu connects the preparation to Serralunga di Crea in Piemonte. It represents northern Italy's tradition of handmade pasta paired with deeply cooked meat sauces.
Piemonte sits at the foot of the Alps and shares a border with France. Its pasta is egg-rich and thin, its sauces slow-cooked with red wine, butter and, in autumn, white truffle.
