Pici (, ) is thick, hand-rolled pasta, like fat spaghetti. It originates in the province of Siena, in Tuscany; in the Montalcino area it is also referred to as pinci ().

The dough is typically made from flour and water only. The addition of egg is optional, being determined by family traditions. Alternatively, finely chopped or shredded spinach can be used in place of water.
