Sucamele

Ingredients Durum-wheat flour, and often also whole-wheat flour, yeast, and water.

How Made The flour is sifted and kneaded with the yeast and with water as needed. The dough is rolled out into a thin sheet, narrow strips are cut from it, and the strips are rubbed between the hands to form strings. The pasta is left to dry in the sun, then boiled in abundant salted water. In one variation, the pasta strings are wound around a straw, as for fusilli.

Also Known As Maccheroni filati;²⁵³ in Sicily, sussameli.
