Memories of Montepulciano | How To Make Pici Pasta Tuscan Style

copyright 2017 Art of Living, PrimaMedia, Inc/Maria Liberati
“Refill the glass that is empty..empty the glass that is filled..never leave a glass filled..never leave a glass empty!”

One of my favorite dishes that I discovered on a recent trip to the town Montepulciano was this simple pasta dish known as Pici alla briciole. Pici is the typical pasta made in this region while briciole is the Italian word for bread crumbs.
A stop at the winery called Villa Nottola
  where I got to visit the winery and cook in the kitchen and then dine on my first Pici alla briciole with some wine referred to as Super Tuscan..of course from Montepulciano.
If you want to create a staycation and turn your kitchen into a taste of Montepulciano..grab a bottle of wine from Montepulciano and whip up some of this pici alla briciole..and World Pasta Day is not too far away…October 25, 2017..the perfect dish to celebrate that occasion…..
