고게스

Type of pasta from the Peloponnese, Greece

About this dish

Gogges, also called goges, goggizes, goglies (γκόγκλιες), and stripta makaronia (στριπτά μακαρόνια, 'twisted macaroni') is a type of egg-free pasta made in the Peloponnese, especially the provinces of Argolis and Laconia. They resemble seashells and are similar to cavatelli or orecchiette as made in Apulia, though gogges are usually thicker. Gogges are generally made only from flour, water, and salt. They are made by first rolling the dough out into cylinders roughly the thickness of the little finger, then cutting the cylinder into sections 3–4 cm (1.2–1.6 in) in length. In the final step each section is pressed flat and curled, in one fluid motion using the fingers. The rolling can be done on any surface, but is usually done on grooved wooden board to give the pasta its exterior texture.
