That TikTok Spinach Pici Pasta recipe has made pici pasta famous, but it’s always existed (WAY back to Etruscan times!), it’s just been made a trend, as TikTok does. Pici, or Pinci, (pronounced ‘Peechy’)), is a thick, hand-rolled pasta, like fat spaghetti. It originates in the province of Siena in Tuscany. It’s originally just made of flour and water. Like most trends, we need to try it ourselves, but our recipe developer went with turmeric and butternut pici pasta, paired with beautiful garlic and herb butter sauce.
PS: no pasta machine is needed.
The TikTok trending spinach pici pasta is a blend of 120g baby spinach and 180g flour, instead of the butternut and turmeric used in this recipe. Jamie Oliver has a recipe for you.
