A step by step guide to making a different sort of pasta, one that doesn’t get rolled with a typical pasta machine, it also incorporates cheese in the actual pasta itself. The pasta is from the Pasta Queen, the addition of the baby octopus is mine!
Scialatielli [sha-la-te-lee] comes from a Neapolitan slang word “scialare” meaning to have fun and “tiella” which means pan. It may also come from a derivative of the verb sciglià ‘to ruffle’ since scialatelli look like “ruffled” strips of pasta after being hand-made and plainly cut by a kitchen knife.
