Every week the housewives at Fattoria del Colle (Country Inn in Tuscany) – teach guests how to prepare pinci. It is quite a long procedure but it is easy, and everyone is able to learn the movement which transforms the fresh pasta dough into a long string ling shape (pincio means string, rope). Then for dinner the Osteria della fattoria del Colle serves a “pinci tasting” which means three servings with 3 different dressings.
