Frascarelli

Preparation:

Preparation: Sprinkle some flour on a board. Spray water several times with your fingers over the flour and move it slightly often with your hand. Then pass the flour sprinkled with water through a sieve. Small balls will remain in the sieve, these are the frascarelli, which can be cooked in beef or chicken broth. In ancient times the water was not sprayed with the fingers but with a twig (in dialect: frasca, hence the name frascarelli). This dish is still used today for nursing women.
