Pasta mama miaa

Budget supplier - bonus Blossoming !
I always like it when (as has happened to me before now) some pompous name-dropping individual tries to tell me one can only get such-and-such at Fauchon in Paris or Fortnum’s or Harrods Food Hall.

Every Lidl helps!

We get pici from Lidl occasionally, it’s in the chiller cabinet when they have it in stock.

I had pici for the first time recently in Tuscany and it was fabulous.

Poor man's pasta, no egg traditionally. Where abouts where you? It is only well-known and served in the South-East, Val d'Orcia, Pienza region.

That's where I had it too, Montefolinica near Montipulliciano.
Was Pienza was the town with all the cheese shops?
For ideas to colour pasta try the book by the Italian girls who live in Wales.

Jamie Oliver does various coloured pasta using greens carrots or beetroot. I have tried the beetroot one and leafy greens one look them up on Google.

I had it there too.

One of the simplest to make is Pici- from South East Tuscani. Hand rolled, traditionally no egg.
