Homemade Strozzapreti with Primitivo Wine

The name "Strozzapreti" alludes to the proverbial gluttony of priests. It is a particular type of short pasta, obtained by twisting strips of dough around themselves. Their origin is ancient: they were born as a dish to be cooked on the holidays of middle-class families. Their particular shape and slow-drying craftsmanship allow for a very high quality result that reproduces the excellent characteristics of fresh pasta: it does not overcook and retains sauces and condiments. This variant with an intense color pays homage to the king of Apulian red wines: Primitivo. No artificial colors or preservatives, only 100% natural ingredients. Particularly suitable for the preparation of first courses based on meat.
