Troccoli

Ingredients Durum-wheat flour, but also type 00 wheat flour, water, and sometimes also egg whites.

How Made The flour is sifted and kneaded with water, and sometimes also with egg whites, for a long time until a firm, smooth dough forms, which is then left to rest. Pieces are pinched off and rolled into cylinders 5 to 6 inches (13 to 15 cm) long, which are then flattened with the palm of the hand. A special grooved rolling pin, called u ’ntrucele, made of brass or wood is rolled over these irregular strips to cut thick tonnarelli.
