Sfoglia (Italian: [ˈsfɔʎ.ʎa]) is the uncut fresh pasta sheet from which many types of Italian fresh egg pasta made using only flour and eggs is made. Pasta made from sfoglia is considered a fundamental dish in order to form a meal in Romagnan cuisine.

Ingredients

The basic recipe of sfoglia utilizes the ingredients of flour and eggs consistently. Variations include the use of Marsala cooking wine as seen in a 1931 newspaper.

Production

Sfoglia being rolled out with a rolling pin

The ingredients of sfoglia must be rolled into paper-thin sheets by hand using a mattarello (wooden rolling pin). Pasta from sfoglia is traditionally made by sfoglinas (also known as azdoras in the local dialect) in Emilia-Romagna.

The pastas produced using sfoglias include agnolini, lasagne, tagliatelle, alle pappardelle, tortellini, garganelli, cappelletti, tortelli, and ravioli. Gnocchi, while closely related and an integral part of Bolognese cuisine, is not based on la sfoglia.
