Pizzicotti

Ingredients Wheat flour, lukewarm water, and salt; also natural yeast if making a raised dough.

How Made The flour is sifted onto a wooden board and kneaded with lukewarm water and a pinch of salt until a firm, smooth dough forms. It is then wrapped in a dish towel and left to rest. Pieces of dough are pinched off and tossed directly into boiling salted water. The same method is used for pizzicotti made from yeast-leavened dough.

Also Known As Pizziconi.

How Served As pastasciutta, with local sauces and grated pecorino. The traditional sauce is garlic, oil, and tomato.
