Ingredients Durum-wheat flour, eggs, oil, and water. At one time, no eggs were used.
How Made The flour is sifted, combined with eggs, oil, and water, and kneaded for a long time. When the dough is firm and smooth, it is covered and left to rest. It is then rolled out with a rolling pin into a sheet, not too thin, and cut into strips about โ
inch (1.5 cm) wide and about 6 inches (15 cm) long. These strips are wound around a smooth, thin stick to make thick bucatini. They are boiled in plenty of salted water.
