Rustichella Pasta

Rustichella Pasta - Strozzapreti

Strozzapreti as this is called in Italy, means strangled priest because it was so good, that priests gorged themselves on it and strangled. This medium-length, flat cut pasta is a little wider than fettuccine. It is rolled and twisted by hand into tight tubular forms that open slightly when cooked. Originally the product of the region of Calabria , this is an extremely unusual cut that excels in trapping and holding all sorts of sauces and has recently become a favorite in America 's top Italian restaurants..
