Knead the flour, semolina, half the salt, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and warm water.
Rest the dough for 25 minutes.
Roll the dough into thin rods to make pici strands.
Soften the garlic in the remaining olive oil over low heat for 4 minutes.
Add the grated tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and remaining salt, and cook the sauce for 22 minutes.
Boil the pici in salted water for 7 minutes.
Toss the pasta with the sauce for 2 minutes and serve.
💡 Tip: Roll the pici strands one by one between your palms, if the pasta is too thin the aglione sauce cannot cling to its thick surface.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve pici all'Aglione hot with arugula salad and optional toasted breadcrumbs.
