Rustichella d’Abruzzo Chitarra Pasta

Chitarra means “guitar” in Italian, and the dough for this square-cut spaghetti was traditionally rolled over a box strung with metal guitar strings to create the straight-sided strands. Chitarra was born in Abruzzo, where they serve it with mutton ragù or tomato sauce and fresh sheep’s milk ricotta. For something really special, try it with sea urchin, garlic, red pepper and olive oil.
