pasta a vento barba di San Benedetto

/PAH-stah ah VEHN-toh BAHR-bah dee sahn beh-neh-DEHT-toh/
[Italian]

"Pasta in the style of the wind in Saint Benedict's beard". This extraordinarily named dish from Sicily is made with a sheet of pasta folded like a fan and then cut across the folds in thin, zig-zag strips and deep-fried. Traditionally these were served drenched in honey and sprinkled with chopped pistachios and little pieces of zucchata.
