Pici is a rustic, very thick pasta originating from Siena, Tuscany. These hefty, spaghetti-like strands are twirled into elegant nests, perfect for soaking up the flavors of robust sauces. Its satisfying texture shines in cool-weather dishes, especially with rich pairings such as meat ragù, Porcini Mushroom Cream, or a garlicky tomato sauce. For a true taste of Tuscany, try pici alle briciole—pasta tossed simply with breadcrumbs and olive oil.
