What is Pici?

Pici (pronounced PEE-chee) is a thick, hand-rolled pasta native to the province of Siena in Tuscany. It resembles a fat spaghetti or udon, but with a distinctly rustic, irregular texture from the hand-rolling process. It’s one of Italy’s oldest pasta shapes, with origins tracing back to Etruscan civilization. In Siena, pici is traditionally served with aglione (a garlicky tomato sauce), ragù, wild boar sauce, or simply with toasted breadcrumbs and olive oil.
