FILEJA is a typical pasta of Calabria. It is made using semolina and water. Once the dough is formed, it is rolled out into rolls of 1 cm in diameter and cut into 20 cm lengths.
These pieces of dough are rolled gently around a wooden skewer to create a hollow tube-like pasta.
Because this pasta is generally handmade, it has a smooth surface. It is best served with rich and robust sauces of all types.
