Rechta

Rechta (Arabic: رشتة) is a dish made from pasta cut into thin fresh artisan strips, typical of Algeria.

[4] Rechta is a popular pasta dish in Algeria, and is particularly beloved in the cities of Algiers, Blida, and Constantine, where it is considered a specialty.

[5] In Algiers and Blida the most famous rechta is typically served with chicken, chickpeas, and turnips, in a sauce that is seasoned with white pepper and cinnamon.

The pasta itself is typically made from a combination of semolina flour and water, and is rolled out into long, flat noodles that are cut into strips.

[6] In Constantine, rechta is often served with a tomato-based sauce that includes a variety of vegetables, such as onions, carrots and green peppers.
