Ingredients Wheat flour, sometimes mixed with corn flour, and water.

How Made The flour is sifted and kneaded long and vigorously with water. When the dough is firm and smooth, it is left to rest for a half hour. Walnut-sized pieces are torn from the dough and rolled on a wooden board by hand into thick spaghetti about 8 inches (20 cm) long. An alternative method calls for rolling the pasta into a thick sheet, which is cut into strips ⅜ inch (1 cm) wide and about 4 inches (10 cm) long. The strips are then rolled on a wooden board with hands into thick spaghetti. The pasta is boiled in abundant salted water.
