Pasta pici is hand-rolled pasta made with flour, water, and olive oil. No eggs here. Pici originates from Siena (Tuscany), Italy. This pasta is so easy to make. You don't need any special equipment to open and roll it out. The sauce I chose to pair with the pici is Puttanesca (which originates from Naples, Italy). It is composed of garlic, anchovies, olives, tomato sauce, capers, and a kick of chili. Usually, this sauce is made with spaghetti so I thought it would be a great combo to make it with homemade pici pasta. It takes less than 2 hours from start to finish and it is an awesome activity to do with friends and family. I like to roll my pici into a very very long pasta. I mean a meter long each! Buon Appetito Ragazzi.
