PICI PASTA

This pasta shape was first introduced to me in Montepulciano, Italy. The region is well known for many things including wine, castles, and most notably pici pasta. This pasta uses no eggs and leves you with a soft, biuncy pasta.

Ingredients:


 

  • 500g AP Flour

  • 250mL warm water

  • 5 splashes olive oil

  • ​5 pinches sea salt

Instructions:


 

1. Create a well in the middle of the flour. Add half the water, olive oil and salt.

2. Slowly whisk in the flour and create a ball. Slowly add the rest of the water and knead for 5 minutes until a solid ball has formed and the dough springs back.

3. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.

4. Cut small pieces out of the dough and roll into long strips of pici noodles.

5. Bring a pot of water to boil and boil pasta for 3-4 minutes or until al dente.

6. For the sauce add all ingredients to a large saucepan with some olive oil. Constantly stir for 5 minutes until all the vegetables are covered in oil.

7. Without stirring let the sauce cook for 1 hour in medium-low heat, until it becomes jammy.

8. Add the pici pasta, and finish with freshly grated parmesean. Enjoy!
