In the south of Tuscany or the longish pici strozzapreti or, perhaps of Etruscan origin, are the sort of spaghetti that stretch, one by one by hand. They are part of Cooking dishes being made with the minimum indispensabile.Ultimamente are now the rage, there is no inn or restaurant that does not propose its own version and the supermarket if they are already beautiful and packed , both fresh and dried. longish I had of my grandmother Laura, however, all 'other stuff and I think it would have something to say, not only those made up, but also on the technique I use, since she is gone. I seem to see it ... after my grandmother put on her apron. strictly white, was the only batter with flour and salt water, hot ... I but instead, combining tradition with the convenience and best results, use the egg and the pasta me prepare my longish traditional planetaria.I tend to release too much flour, and to stick to each other. By coming to terms with today's times, the way I realize it's much easier ... you can prepare with a little 'before and I assure you that the taste, texture and preservation we earn a lot ... then grandmother, from up there ... do not look askance .. you know that the kitchen, like all art is in continuous evolution and transformation ... and then when they lunge with the palm of my hands, as if they did, once again, the two of us together ... you share them with bread crumbs, browned in oil with garlic and chilli were divine ..! Today I had the meat sauce and mushrooms that I have added two I found in September, the Crocina! Ah, I forgot to mention that a dear friend of mine sent me a precious Sicilian durum wheat flour ... I have mixed with the double zero ... quiet .... i just came longish "boni boni! !

hours

ottenendo una sfloglia alta 2 cm circa...
Arrotolarla su se stessa...
Tagliare ora il rotolo in listarelle larghe come una tagliatella
ed allungarle con le mani,strusciandole sulla tavola e facendo pressione con il palmo della mano...l'abilità sta nel non rompere i lunghetti ...devono divenire,lunghi,lisci,un po' più grossi di uno spaghetto
Per non farli attaccare spolverizzare la spianatoia with a little 'flour or corn meal ... but this version is hard to experience this problem
Finished "zenith" the longish, put water in a pot bollirein capacious and season with salt, then collect the board and lessarli.Quando are afloat, the traditional flour only, as these are ready they need a few minutes of boiling.
Drain and season to piacimento.Io I used the Tuscan meat sauce, seasoned with spices, a few pieces of mushroom, but are also great with garlic, crumbs or with the sauce of dwarf or "Locio.
