Stringozzi , also known as Strangozzi in Italy , is an Italian type of pasta.

The Stringozzi come from the Italian region of Umbria and are part of the paste lunghe . They are comparatively thick and soft, also somewhat flattened and mostly irregularly shaped. However, their exact shape varies significantly depending on the manufacturing process. Traditionally they consist of durum wheat semolina , white flour and water, in newer recipes egg white , olive oil and salt are occasionally added. They are mainly used in combination with rather hearty sauces , but also with black truffles. The name Stringozzi is derived from the Italian word stringhe , which refers to the shape and in German means something like shoelace .
