Combine flour, water and a bit of oil.

Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.

Cover and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.

Roll out the dough into a flat sheet, not too thin.

Cut the dough into strips.

Roll each strip into a long noodle (about 12 inches) using your hands or the counter.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Boil the pici until they float and are tender, about 5 minutes. Time varies based on the thickness of the noodles.

Drain and toss with your favorite sauce.

Add fresh basil and grated Parmigiano.

Serve and buon appetito!
