Casoncelli alla Bergamasca al Burro Fuso e Salvia
Lombardia — Bergamo city and province
Stuffed fresh pasta from Bergamo — half-moon shaped pasta (larger and more rustic than tortellini) filled with a mixture of braised beef, mostarda di Cremona, amaretti biscuits, Grana Padano, and Parmigiano. The sweet-savoury filling reflects the Bergamasco tradition of combining dried fruit and sweet condiments with meat — a remnant of Renaissance court cuisine. Dressed with browned butter, crispy pancetta, and fresh sage. The combination of sweet filling with salty pancetta and nutty brown butter is quintessential Bergamasco sweet-savoury cuisine.
