Flíčky Pasta

Flíčky are a traditional Czech pasta cut into small squares or rectangles. They are made from egg dough, similar to other types of noodles, and are available both dried and fresh. They are a popular addition to soups, where they are cooked directly in broth, but they also shine as the main ingredient in baked dishes, the best known being baked flíčky with quark cheese or with cabbage. They have a mild flavour and absorb the taste of sauces and other ingredients well. In Czech cuisine, flíčky are a beloved comfort food found both in school canteens and home kitchens.
