Preparation

Method

In a mixing bowl fitted with a dough hook, combine all flours with sea salt. Add olive oil and slowly incorporate the water while mixing. Knead until a smooth, elastic dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic and let it rest for 1 hour.
Roll out the dough to about 1-inch thick using a rolling pin. Cut into 6-inch long sheets and let dry for 10 minutes in a well-ventilated area.
Use a pici cutter or your palms to roll each piece into thick spaghetti-like strands. This pasta has no eggs, so it absorbs sauce beautifully. It can also be frozen and cooked from frozen in salted boiling water until al dente.
