Battolli

Battolli is a traditional pasta variety originating from Liguria, especially the town of Uscio in the province of Genoa. It consists of of wheat flour, chestnut flour, water, and (often) eggs. The mixture of flours is kneaded with water and sometimes eggs, and it's then left to rest.

The dough is rolled out into a sheet which is cut into flat noodles. The noodles are traditionally boiled in water or milk. This pasta variety was designed to hold the textures and flavors of pesto genovese. It's also often served with navoni, white turnips from the nearby Recco.
