Notes to recipes: strozzapreti tell very much about the history of this region: the long Roman domination, a cuisine made with poor ingredients ennobled with long and elaborated cooking, and, at the end, the profound tradition of hospitality. For this reason to the priests,respected , but not always invited due the Church State domination, was offered a dish considered very important
so they were enthralled by the savoury pasta that they ate too quickly and choked themselves, sometimes to death. For this reason the recipe is called priests choker, the English translation of the word strozzapreti.
