Fuzi

Fuzi is a well-known Croatian pasta that is simple to cook and is a household staple in Croatia. It is prepared by rolling little squares of pasta into a quill shape around the end of a pencil or wooden spoon. Fuzi is typically served as a substantial stew of wild game or other meats, or in a truffle cream sauce. It is an example of typical Croatian cuisine that can be found all across the country.
