Pici Pasta
Watching nonna Siriana Fumi roll out pici is a form of mindful meditation al italiano. Our guests focus on her steady hands as she kneads, flattens, and cuts the dough into strips. Her quick, flat palms roll each strip into a long, sinuous snake. It’s obvious she has rolled pici her entire life. It’s second nature to Siriana and to the hundreds of Tuscan home cooks who prepare pici for their families, friends, and dinner guests. Since pici is basically just flour and water, feel free to experiment with different combinations of flour to discover the texture you like best. We use all-purpose, Italian “00” soft flour. Watch your cooking time to make sure your pici comes out al dente.Read More →
