The “Strigliozzi”

One of the main typical dishes of the Rieti area is undoubtedly Strigliozzi diCastel di Tora, a municipality with breathtaking views overlooking Lake Turano, where a festival is held every year in its honor.

Ingredients

For the dough:

  • 00 flour
  • Water
  • Salt

For the sauce:

  • Oil
  • Garlic
  • Chili pepper
  • Tomato
  • Parsley

Preparation

Mix the 00 flour with water and a little salt until you obtain a smooth, even dough. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about half a centimeter and cut with a knife into strips a few centimeters long with square edges.

Fry the oil, garlic, and chili pepper. When the garlic is golden brown, add the tomato and reduce it to a pulp, season with salt, and cook over low heat.

Add the pasta, cook for a few minutes, and when it is ready, drain it and add it to the tomato sauce. Sprinkle everything with finely chopped parsley.
