Traditional Tuscan Pici



Pici is another shape of pasta and is typical of our region: Tuscany!
Usually we serve with garlic sauce " all'aglione" or with duck sauce "con la nana", anyway you can use also meat sauce or boar meat sauce.
 
Ingredients
 
500 g flour 0
10g olive oil
salt
200g water ( or enough water to knead gently with your hands until the dough is smooth and elastic)
 
On the pastry board put the flour, pour a little warm water, salt and knead until the mixture is elastic. Wrap the dough in a cloth, let it rest for 40 minutes. Roll out the dough and cut into wide ribbons giving the shape of thick spaghetti.
The original recipe do not allow eggs, anyway I found few recipe with 1 egg, I think that is not necessary.
