Pici is a traditional shape of pasta from southern Tuscany similar to spaghetti but chunkier and larger in shape. It is the quintessential rustic delicacy from central Italy. These Morelli Pici are made using top quality wheat following ancient artisan techniques – the result is close to perfection. They are so tasty you can enjoy them practically with no sauce, with just a drop of EVOO, cracked pepper and shaved pecorino. Here we give you a simple summer recipe highlighting the deliciousness of tomato season. A mouthful of this dish will take you all the way back to that Italian summer dream, fields of golden wheat, the music of crickets and those mediterranean flavors coming from the kitchen.
