Casunziei

Casunziei (also called casonciei, casanzes or csanzöi) is the name in Ladin for a type of stuffed pasta, consisting of a filling sealed between two layers of thin pasta dough, folded in a typical half-moon shape. They are commonly homemade and are typical of the culinary tradition of the Dolomites area, in the northeastern part of Italy, especially the provinces of Belluno, Bolzano, and Trento. The square shell, typically about 3.5 by 3.5 cm, consists of two sheets of pasta pressed together at the borders, like those of ravioli. The pre-cooked and finely ground filling varies from area to area and typically includes vegetables and ricotta cheese. The original recipes from Cortina d'Ampezzo are the "red" variety (casunziei rosc) with beet, potato, and red Veronese turnips; and the "green" one (casunziei verdes) with spinach and wild-growing erba cipollina (chives) in the filling.
