Cesaria’s Lorighittas with Chicken

Morgongiori is a little village on the western side of central Sardinia, and it is the only place on the island—and indeed the whole of Italy—where loringhittas are made. It helps to watch Cesaria’s video on YouTube. Remember, this is a group activity, so get the family involved to work your way through the dough. The women of Morgongiori place the loringhittas on large flat baskets to dry—but a tea towel will do. Cesaria advises not to try to make this pasta when the weather is hot and dry. Keep the dough covered while you are making the pasta shapes to stop it from drying out.
