Casoncelli

1

Casoncelli (Lombard: casonsèi,, in Eastern Lombard) are a type of stuffed pasta typical of the culinary tradition of Lombardy, in the northcentral part of Italy. The shell typically consists of two sheets of pasta, about 4 cm long, pressed together at the edges, like that of ravioli. Alternatively it is a disk folded in two and shaped like a sweet wrapper. Casoncelli in the style alla bergamasca are typically stuffed with a mixture of breadcrumbs, eggs, Parmesan cheese, ground beef, salami or sausage. Variants of filling include spinach, raisins, amaretto biscuits, pear, and garlic; while the casoncelli alla bresciana are stuffed with a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic, parsley, nutmeg and broth. They are typically served with burro e salvia: melted butter flavored with sage leaves.
