Ingredients Durum-wheat flour and water.
How Made The flour is sifted onto a wooden board and kneaded long and forcefully with water until a firm, smooth dough forms. It is left to rest, then rolled out into a sheet, not too thin, and cut into strips. The strips are wrapped around ferretti, and then slid off and left to dry. According to another tradition, the dough is rolled into a pencil-thick rope and small pieces are cut off. The pieces are flattened on top of the ferretto, which is rolled on a wooden board, and the ferretto is slid out. The pasta is boiled directly in soup.
