Battolli
Battolli
Battolli are chestnut tagliatelle originating from Uscio, a village on the hills of the Golfo Paradiso. They pair well with pesto and walnut sauce, another Ligurian classic.
Insights
They are still made in homes, and are often served with a local turnip called "nauin."
Features
Ingredients: 200 g of water, a pinch of salt, 1 package of Pra’ Pesto (150 g)
How it's made
Preparation: Mix the two flours with salt, egg, and water, gradually adding the water until a smooth dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out, but not too thin. Dust the surface with flour and roll the dough into a cylinder. Cut the cylinder into slices about 1/2 cm thick. Immediately unroll the tagliatelle to prevent them from sticking together, and place them on a floured surface. Cook the battolli in plenty of salted water, drain, and serve with pesto.
