Pici (Script error: No such module "IPA"., Script error: No such module "IPA".) is thick, hand-rolled pasta, like fat spaghetti.[1] It originates in the province of Siena, in Tuscany; in the Montalcino area it is also referred to as pinci (Script error: No such module "IPA".).
The dough is typically made from flour and water only. The addition of egg is optional, being determined by family traditions. Alternatively, finely chopped or shredded spinach can be used in place of water.
The dough is rolled out in a thick flat sheet, then cut into strips. In some families, the strip of dough is rolled between one palm and the table, while the other hand is wrapped with the rest of the strip. It can also be formed by rolling the strip between the palms. Either method forms a thick pasta, slightly thinner than a common pencil. Due to its handmade nature, this pasta is not uniform in size and has variations of thickness along its length.
It is eaten with a variety of sauces and meats, particularly:
