17. Pici Recipe Pici 4 cups flour 8-10 oz of warm water 2 eggs Pour flour on a wood cutting board and form a well in the center. Add eggs to the center of the well and start to beat with a fork. Add water and mix in the sides gradually while not letting the water escape; when the ingredients come together start to use your hands to mix until the dough forms. Work together until smooth. Knead dough for 5-10 minutes, adding a little flour to prevent sticking. The dough must be quite solid, but elastic, not sticky. If it’s too sticky add some more flour however if it’s too hard you cannot add water. Brush top of dough with some olive oil to prevent skin from forming and cover with a cloth. Let it rest for 10 minutes. First roll the dough out on a lightly floured counter until it is 1/16 inch thick. Cut into 1/8 inch wide pieces. The left hand must keep the left end of the piece while the right hand is rolling. Always roll the pici under the palm, not under the fingers! The right hand must move on the pici from the right to the left. Bring a large saucepan of salted water (handful of salt) to a boil, add the pici and cook until tender about 5 minutes, until ala dente. Drain well and transfer to a heated serving dish, add the meat sauce and gently toss. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve hot. Isabella Moricciani Agriturismo Cretaiole
