Strascinati is a type of pasta that is loved by many. It is a traditional Italian pasta, which has been passed down from one generation to the next. Strascinati pasta is made by pressing small balls of dough between your palms or using a strascinare (a wooden tool) to create a concave shape that’s perfect for holding sauce in the crevices. In this article, we will discuss how to make fresh strascinati pasta at home.

Ingredients

To make the dough, you will need:

● 2 cups semolina flour
● 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
● 1 teaspoon salt
● 1 cup water

Instructions

1. Add the semolina flour, all-purpose flour, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Mix them together.

2. Slowly add water to the flour mixture. Mix the dough with your hands until it comes together and forms a ball.

3. Knead the dough for about 10-15 minutes or until smooth. If the dough seems too dry, add a little more water.

4. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

5. After 30 minutes, take a small piece of dough and roll it out until it is about 1/4 inch thick.

6. Cut the dough into small rectangles or squares, about 1-inch wide.

7. Hold a piece of pasta by the ends and pinch it with your fingers in the center to create the strascinati shape. Alternatively, use the strascinare tool to create the shape.

8. Place the shaped pasta on a floured baking sheet and let it dry for 30 minutes.

9. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the strascinati pasta and stir gently. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until it’s cooked to your liking.

10. Drain the pasta and serve it with your favorite sauce.

Tips
