Ciriole (or cirioli) are long and square shaped, similar to spaghetti alla chitarra, Roman tonnarelli, or anguillette by Lake Trasimeno, or crioli in Molisano dialect.
It's served with ragú, or mushrooms, or truffles or wild asparagus. Around Spoleto, they are known as strangozzi (not to be confused with strozzapreti, which are much shorter and thicker).
The name is derived from a local word for 'eel' and is also used for a ciriola, an elongated loaf of soft white bread in nearby Lazio.
