Mostaccioli with cooked wine
Mostaccioli are an old recipe, handed down through the ages, using cooked wine, a dark-coloured grape must with a very sweet flavour. They are prepared mainly at Christmas time (they are often placed in baskets or bags and given to relatives), but they are good all year round.
Mostaccioli with cooked wine, ingredients
- 1kg of flour 00
- 600g of cooked wine
- 500g of almonds (toasted)
- 200g of sugar
- 100g of extra virgin olive oil
- Lemon peel to taste
- 10g of cake ammonia
How to make mostaccioli with cooked wine
To prepare the mostaccioli, you first need to roughly chop the almonds. Heat 200g of cooked wine and dissolve the ammonia in it.
Sift the flour into a large bowl, then add the oil, sugar, ammonia dissolved in the cooked wine, grated lemon peel, chopped almonds and the remaining cooked wine. Knead all the ingredients together to form a dough.
Transfer the dough to a pastry board and form a cylinder, flattening it slightly on the surface. Cut obliquely into pieces 5-6 cm long, then sprinkle with sugar if desired.
Preheat the oven to 200° and bake the mostaccioli for about 15 minutes. Remove the mostaccioli from the oven and let them cool completely, then store them in a tin box or an airtight container.
