📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Strozzapreti is a handmade pasta with the odd name 'priest stranglers,' made in homes in San Marino and Romagna. An eggless dough is cut into long strips and twisted between the palms. It's classically paired with sausage and tomato sauce or ragù.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a Sammarinese kitchen, grandmother twists long strips of dough between her palms as pasta lines up on the board.
