Stringozzi my way The stringozzi belong to the family of the poor paste, made from flour and water. We find them a bit 'throughout Italy with various names and various forms stringozzi note (which are also called strangozzi or strengozzi or strongozzi :-)) depending on location) in Foligno and Spoleto ciriole in Terni, Orvieto and to umbricelli in Lazio, Tuscany pici, strozzapreti throughout central Italy, pasta in Puglia, trofie in Liguria, Campania cavatelli ... and so on and so forth.
recipe in my hand, instead of water there are whites who make more consistent pulp and less sticky and the taste a lot nicer. I'm sort of tall and narrow and noodles are very easy to do (I prepare them while the water boils). In fact, the single defining moment is the preparation of the dough which is processed very slowly adding the flour required. Once you have a nice smooth and homogeneous paste, is spread in a snap because you do not make the dough very thin, indeed, the value of this work is its consistency.
This is the recipe, with some seasonings happy (you can vary endlessly, happily accepted the stringozzi all fish, vegetables, truffle to taste ... well ... less meat seasonings)
