Anelletti al Forno
Detail
Anelletti al forno, better known as anelletti alla palermitana, is a baked pasta dish of Sicilian origin which owes its name to the ring-like shape of the pasta. This shape is one of the regional specialties of the great pasta producers and is used almost exclusively for the preparation of this unique dish.
The preparation of the baked pasta has as many variations as there are different areas of the island. Depending on the area, the anelletti may be replaced with macaroni, rigatoni or some other pasta. The ingredients, meanwhile, will vary wildly: boiled eggs, various cured meats and even vegetables.
Annelletti al form ingredients:
- 500 g of anelletti
