Rustic Homemade Pici

Handmade Tuscan-style pasta made from a blend of fine semolina and unbleached all-purpose flour, lightly salted and bound with hot water to jumpstart gluten formation. Rolled and shaped by hand into thick rustic noodles, ideal for holding chunky sauces. Simple ingredients, no eggs or dairy. Dough texture key, sticky but firm. Precise handling avoids overworking. Cook in salted water until tender but still offering bite. Can freeze before cooking. A straightforward base for spicy garlic tomato or hearty ragù sauces. Substitutions and timing tips included.
