Parmitieddi

Type of pasta.

Parmitieddi (Italian: [parmiˈtjɛddi]), also known as parmi, parmatieddi, or palmatielli, is a variety of cavatelli typical of Teggiano, a town in Campania. Parmitieddi is larger than cavatelli and flat-shaped. They are made by rolling a stick of dough with the three fingers of one hand and are usually eaten as a first course on Palm Sunday served with ragù sauce and grated pecorino or ricotta salata cheese. Their shape is similar to that of a palm leaf. The name refers to either the method of preparation with the palm of one's hand (palma in Italian) or the fact that it is eaten on Palm Sunday.[1]
