subheading: Pici:

1¼ cups (6¼ ounces) all-purpose flour

1 cup (5¾ ounces) semolina flour plus 1 cup for coating pasta

⅔ cup water

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus 1 tablespoon for brushing dough

Table salt for cooking pasta

subheading: Sauce:

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

½ onion, chopped fine

½ teaspoon table salt

1 cup passata

2 ounces ’nduja sausage casing removed

¼ cup chopped fresh basil divided

1 ounce Pecorino Romano cheese, grated (½ cup)

We developed this recipe using Bob’s Red Mill No. 1 Durum Wheat Semolina Flour. If using finer semolina, such as Caputo Semola, add 11/2 tablespoons more water. We strongly recommend weighing the semolina and all-purpose flours. Semolina that’s left over from dusting the pasta can be sifted and saved for later use. A clean work surface provides friction for rolling the strands. If your work surface becomes covered with semolina or oil, wipe it before proceeding; if the pasta still slides, moisten your hands slightly with water. Passata is an uncooked tomato puree usually found near the other tomato products in the grocery store; if you’re buying the Pomi brand it may be labeled “strained tomatoes.” Leftover passata freezes well. You can find ’nduja in most Italian markets or online. Because this dish is quite hearty, we like to pair it with a crisp, light salad.
