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.[1][2] Pasta made from sfoglia is considered a fundamental dish in order to form a meal in Emilia-Romagna cuisine.[3]
The basic recipe of sfoglia utilizes the ingredients of flour and eggs consistently.[4] Variations include the use of Marsala cooking wine as seen in a 1931 newspaper.[5]
