This substantial pasta dish comes from the Sila area of Calabria in southern Italy, a region known for bold, intensely flavorful ingredients.

Tony’s Poolish Pizza Starter

Poolish is one of the two starters I use most frequently in my book, The Pizza Bible, and in my restaurants. My poolish follows the traditional proportions of equal parts water and flour, so its 100 percent hydration is much higher than my Tiga.

  Tiga is one of the two starters I use most frequently in my book, The Pizza Bible, and in my restaurants. Tiga is my slightly more hydrated version of a classic biga starter, which is usually between 50 and 60 percent water. This “Tony’s biga,” which I call “Tiga,” has 70 percent hydration.
