Scialatielli pasta is an amazing chewy handcut fresh pasta from South of Italy, Campania Region.

The name origin come from the union of two words from the Neapolitan dialect; ‘scialare’ (that have many meanings from  splash out, to squander) and ‘tiella’ (pan).

In Roman slang Scialla means, come on, move on….

What you really need is to find Amalfi lemon or Organic lemon.

I love Scialatielli with a simple tomatoes and mozzarella sauce.

The traditional recipe has Pecorino Cheese.

Mix together semolina with the egg, than add the milk, than lemon zest and basil.

To cut the pasta is the sample process of tagliatelle, the difference is that you will make strips of 1 cm instead.
