Nonna Lina’s Biscotti

In the little town of Ricci, 97-year-old Pasqualina is busy. Not only is she making pasta but she’s baking for anyone who comes to visit. Those who are lucky enough to be invited in for coffee and a sweat treat also call her Lina, instead of her full name. And as the Pasta Grannies team discovered, there’s always extra room, even after a second or third helping of pasta for one of these special biscuits. Delicious.
