Casoncelli
Introduction '''''Casoncelli''''' (; Lombard: ,  in Eastern Lombard) are a kind of stuffed pasta, typical of the culinary tradition of Lombardy, in the north-central part of Italy.The shell typically consists of two sheets of pasta, about  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 bread crumbs, egg, Parmesan, 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 bread crumbs, Parmesan, garlic, parsley, nutmeg and broth. They are typically served with ''burro e salvia'': melted butter flavored with sage leaves.
