Scroccafusi is a traditional pasta dish from the Marche region of Italy, specifically found in the towns of Fermo, Ascoli Piceno, and Macerata. This unique pasta can be found in local stores and shops in these communes, such as La Bottega del Gusto in Fermo and Antica Pasta in Ascoli Piceno.
The pasta is made from a simple dough of flour, water, and salt, which is then rolled out and cut into small pieces. It is typically served with a rich meat sauce or a simple tomato and basil sauce. One popular recipe for Scroccafusi is to cook the pasta until al dente, then toss it with a sauce made from ground pork, tomatoes, and red wine. Another recipe involves serving the pasta with a creamy mushroom and pancetta sauce.
Scroccafusi has been recognized with the PAT (Prodotti Agroalimentari Tradizionali) designation, which signifies its traditional and cultural importance. The pasta must be made with specific ingredients and follow traditional methods to meet the PAT specifications.
