Hilopites
Greek pasta food dish
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hilopites (alternatively hylopites or Chylopites) (Greek: χυλοπίτες, [çiloˈpites]) are a traditional Greek pasta made from flour, eggs, milk, and salt.[1][2] They take the form of long thin strips or, in some regions, small squares (sometimes called by different names).[3]
The pasta is traditionally made by rolling the dough out in to a thin sheet, dusting with flour, and slicing twice: first into thin fettuccine-like strips, then again into small squares. While commercially produced hilopites are generally around 1 cm2 (0.16 in2) traditional homemade hilopites are often made much larger.
Other regional names for this pasta include τουτουμάκια (toutoumákia) in some regions of Peloponnisos and τουμάτσια (toumátsia) in Cyprus.[4]
Some common dishes made with hilopites are rooster with red wine sauce, chicken noodle soups, baked chicken with red sauce, or simple boiled pasta with oil and cheese.
