The canonical Veronese pasta plate, thick whole-wheat noodles pressed through a bronze bigolaro die and dressed with a slow-cooked duck ragu.
Bigoli is the Veneto's signature noodle, traditionally extruded through a bronze bigolaro press dating to the Scaligeri court (13th to 14th century). The duck-ragu pairing (bigoli con l'arna) is Verona's farm-table version, sometimes called bigoli con musso (donkey-meat sauce) in the working-class variation. The Sunday-lunch tradition still holds: most Verona trattorias offer the dish daily but make it the lead Sunday plate.
