These ribbons of deep-fried pasta dough dusted with icing sugar were first associated with Carnevale, the celebration held before Lent - the 40-day period of fasting Catholics observe at Easter. The good thing about eating crostoli at Christmas is that, unlike before Lent, you don't have to give up anything to enjoy them.
