Description

Description of Agnolotti

Agnolotti are a stuffed pasta typical of Piedmont, widely found in Turin and in trattorias across the region. They appear as small squares or rectangles of egg pasta traditionally filled with roast meat, vegetables, and sometimes cheese. The thin pasta sheet encloses a rich, flavorful filling, often served with roast gravy, butter and sage, or simply with the meat’s cooking juices. In Turin’s delicatessens they can be found both fresh and packaged to take home.
