Long egg pasta
Tagliolini
Quick answer
Tagliolini are thin flat egg noodles, narrower than tagliatelle.
Tagliolini means "little cut ones" in Italian.
Best sauces: butter and truffle, seafood, lemon. Match the shape to the sauce — long thin pasta for oil and light sauces, tubes and ridges for chunky or meaty sauces, flat egg ribbons for rich ragù and butter.

What are easy meals to cook while camping?
The easiest camping meals use one pan, few ingredients and food that forgives uneven heat. Sausage and peppers in a cast-iron skillet, foil-packet sausage and potatoes, and campfire pasta with jarred sauce all cook over coals, need little cleanup and feed a group. Prep vegetables at home to save time at camp.
