Stracci

Ingredients Wheat flour, often whole wheat but also fine bran, eggs, and water.

How Made The flour is sifted onto a wooden board and kneaded with eggs and water for a long time, then wrapped in a dish towel and left to rest. The dough is rolled out with a rolling pin into a sheet, from which lasagne of varying sizes are cut. These are often torn into irregular pieces, according to the customs of where the pasta is made, but may also be neatly cut. The dough is sometimes colored green with spinach. The stracci are boiled in plenty of salted water.
