Strozzapreti

Strozzapreti is a variety of handmade, twisted pasta that is made throughout Italy, especially in the regions of Tuscany, Marche, Umbria, and Emilia-Romagna. This rustic pasta usually consists of a combination of wheat flour, semolina flour, water, and sometimes eggs.


It pairs well with chunky, robust sauces, whether vegetable or meat-based. The name strozzapreti means priest choker or priest strangler, referring to its twisted, strangled shape.
