Fagottini

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Fagottini is a type of pasta that originates from Italy. The name 'Fagottini' is derived from the Italian word 'fagotto', which translates to 'bundle' or 'packet' in English. This is a reference to the pasta's unique shape, which resembles a small bundle or packet.

History[edit | edit source]

The exact origins of Fagottini are unclear, but it is believed to have been first made in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. This region is known for its rich culinary history and is the birthplace of many other famous Italian dishes.

Preparation[edit | edit source]

Fagottini is a filled pasta, similar to ravioli or tortellini. The pasta dough is typically made from a mixture of flour, eggs, and water. This is then rolled out into a thin sheet, which is cut into squares. A small amount of filling is placed in the center of each square, and the pasta is then folded over to form a small bundle or packet.

The filling for Fagottini can vary, but it often includes ingredients such as cheese, meat, or vegetables. In some regions of Italy, it is also common to include nuts or fruit in the filling.

Serving[edit | edit source]

Fagottini is typically served with a sauce, which can vary depending on the filling. For example, a meat-filled Fagottini might be served with a tomato sauce, while a cheese-filled Fagottini might be served with a cream sauce. It can also be served in a broth, similar to other types of filled pasta.
