paglia e fieno
Pronunciation: [PAH-lyah ay FYAY-noh]
Italian for "straw and hay," paglia e fieno is a mixture of yellow pasta (made with egg) and green pasta (based on spinach). The combined pastas (usually a style like tagliatelle or fettuccine) are often served with a cream sauce, with additional color added with bits of ham or radicchio. Dried paglia e fieno can be found in Italian markets and some supermarkets.
