Umbricelli

Ingredients Wheat flour, or part durum-wheat and part soft-wheat flour, eggs, and water.

How Made The flour is sifted and kneaded with eggs and water for a long time and left to rest. The dough is sliced, the slices are rolled with the hands into thick spaghetti, and then further rolled with the hands on a wooden board until they are thinner. They are boiled in plenty of salted water. A thickish factory-made type also exists.

Also Known As Pici, strangozzi, umbrichielle, umbrichielli, and umbrici. In Narni, they are called manfricoli; in Sangemini, picchiarelli; and in Terni, ciriole.
