Hilopites are a traditional, homemade pasta that evokes rustic memories of the Greek provinces and big, family dinners in the village.
Hilopites are made of semolina flour, eggs, milk, and salt. To prepare the hilopites, the dough is spread into a thin sheet (phyllo, or filo) and then cut into narrow strips; in some areas, hilopites are cut into small rectangles. The dough is then left to dry out in a clean environment.
They can be cooked in various ways, but they are excellent when served with grated mizithra and tomato sauce, as a soup, or as a side dish for kokkinisto (pot-roasted chicken) and other delicious Greek dishes.
