Tacconelle

Tacconelle or sagne a pèzze is a traditional pasta variety originating from Abruzzo. The pasta is made with a combination of equal parts durum wheat semolina and wheat flour with the addition of water and salt. Once mixed and kneaded, the dough is covered with a cloth and left to rest for an hour.

It is then rolled with a rolling pin, but not too thinly. The pasta sheet is cut into irregular diamond shapes and it's boiled in salted water. It's recommended to serve tacconelle with beans, chickpeas, or a sauce consisting of tomatoes, basil, olive oil, and garlic.
