Se tu sei abruzzese, allora dovresti conoscere i tagliaticci. Mi pare vengano chiamati anche maltagliate. Mio marito era originario di Penne e io ho imparato da suo zio a fare i tagliaticci, non con i fagioli però, solo aglio, olio e peperoncino.

2015 January 9, “Una minestra d'inverno”, in www.patriziamarini.it, archived from the original on 2022-09-07:

If you're from Abruzzo, you should know tagliaticci. I think they're also called maltagliate. My husband was originally from Penne and I've learned from his uncle how to make tagliaticci, but without beans, only with garlic, oil and chili.

Mettere a cuocere i tagliaticci in acqua bollente e salata e dopo pochi minuti (circa 3'), scolarli lasciando un po' della loro acqua, rimetterli in padella e lasciare andare dolcemente sul fuoco per insaporire, aggiungendo altro olio evo.

2018 June 22, “Pasta con semola di Saragolla e piselli”, in www.cia.it, archived from the original on 2022-09-07:

Start cooking the tagliaticci in salted boiling water and after a few minutes (about 3), drain it while keeping some of the water, put it back in the pan and let it cook on a low flame for flavoring, adding more extra virgin olive oil.
