Verona's lean-Friday pasta, thick whole-wheat bigoli dressed with a simple but slow-cooked anchovy-and-onion sauce.
Bigoli in salsa is a Veneto-wide Friday and Lenten dish dating to the medieval Catholic fast-days when meat was forbidden. The Veronese version uses bigoli (the thick whole-wheat noodle pressed through the bigolaro) with a sauce of cured anchovies and slow-cooked onions cooked down to near-jam. It still appears on Verona menus from late February through Easter and on Fridays year-round at traditional rooms.
