Sfoglina

Sfoglina is a woman who makes sfoglia, a form of Italian fresh pasta resembling a sheet made only with flour and eggs. A sfoglina is historically seen as a middle-aged woman who rolls and stretches out the dough with a mattarello (lit. 'rolling pin'), on a large wooden pastry board called taglieri. Their typical handmade creations are tagliatelle, tortellini, and other egg-pasta, also many times stuffed pasta such as tortelloni or cappelletti.
