The difference
Maccheroncini di Campofilone vs Tagliolini
Both are fine egg ribbons, but maccheroncini di Campofilone is the thinner extreme, an IGP from the Marche cut so fine it cooks in about a minute, made with seven to ten eggs a kilo and no water. Tagliolini is the narrow Piedmontese ribbon, fine but a step wider and a touch more substantial. When it is almost thread-thin and from Campofilone, it is the maccheroncini.
