pagliata

/pah'LYAH-tah/
[Italian]

A extraordinary Roman dish of the intestines of a unweaned, milk-fed calf, filled with milk, cooked in a spiced tomato sauce and generally served with rigatoni. The resulting dish is similar to cheese in a sausage casing. It is usually plaited for serving. We ate this at the commendable Cecchino dal 1887 in Testaccio.
