Pici

Pici is a type of hand-made pasta popular in South Tuscany, similar to spaghetti, but thicker, and usually made without eggs. The pasta is rolled by hand and looks robust, like thick spaghetti. Pici can be served with hearty meat or mushroom-based sauces, but the most typical way to enjoy pici in Tuscany is alle briciole (with bread crumbs roasted in olive oil), all'aglione (with tomato and garlic sauce), or in cacio e pepe version (generously seasoned with grated cheese and pepper).
