Patacucci, also known as zavardoni or giugetti,^[1] are a traditional type of fresh pasta from the provinces of Rimini, Forlì-Cesena,^[2] and Ravenna,^[1] consisting of squares or diamonds of rather irregular shape, obtained from a thick dough, prepared with water, wheat flour, corn flour, and salt.

After boiling, they are traditionally seasoned with a bean sauce, or more recently, with a sausage sauce, prepared based on a sauté (chopped).^[3] They are also consumed in soup, or simmered with a spoon.

Zavardoni, also known as zavardone and, in Romagnol, zavardoun, are the larger variant, typical of the Rimini area, particularly the Verucchio region. The dialect term zavardoun indicates a neglected person.^[4] They are typically consumed dry, with tomato sauce and a generous grating of sheep's cheese or with sausage sauce.^{[5][6][7][8][9]}
