Tumact me tulez is a pasta dish from southern Italy, specifically Basilicata, of Arbëreshe origin. The name means "tagliatelle with bread crumbs".
The dish is typical of Barile, a village in the province of Potenza where Albanian Christians settled in the 15th century to escape the Ottoman invasion of the Balkans. Its preparation was historically connected with particular events such as weddings, Saint Joseph's Day and Christmas. Despite its Arbëreshe origin, the dish has blended with local cuisine over time.
Tumact me tulez is served with tomato filets (or tomato sauce) and anchovy, in addition to fried bread crumbs, chopped walnuts, garlic and parsley. Dried chili pepper can be added.
