Chitarra pasta:  pour the flour on working surface and make a fountain with a hole in the middle, then add the other ingredients, knead the dough by pressing, folding and working with the "cannelle de le sagne" (rolling pin)  to make "the pettele" (sheet of pasta). It’s time to lay the "pettele" on the "maccarunare" (a tool with many strings, like a guitar, that’s why this pasta is called chitarra pasta) and with the rolling pin, we will have "li maccarune" (chitarra pasta). Then, you will learn to prepare a typical 

Abruzzo sauce, using veal, pork and a piece of mutton, olive oil, onion, tomato, pecorino cheese, and hot peppers.
