Tortelli cremaschi
Tortelli Cremaschi is a traditional Italian pasta dish originating from the town of Crema in the Lombardy region of Italy. It is a type of filled pasta, similar to ravioli, and is a staple of the local cuisine.
History[edit | edit source]
The origins of Tortelli Cremaschi date back to the Middle Ages, when it was a popular dish among the nobility. The recipe has been passed down through generations and remains a beloved part of Lombardian culinary tradition.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
Tortelli Cremaschi is made by filling a thin sheet of pasta dough with a mixture of amaretti, mustard, Parmesan cheese, and mostarda di frutta (fruit preserved in a mustard-flavored syrup). The filled pasta is then folded into a square shape and boiled. It is typically served with a butter and sage sauce, although variations exist.
Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]
Tortelli Cremaschi is traditionally eaten during the Christmas season, but can be enjoyed year-round. It is often served at festivals and other special occasions in Crema and the surrounding areas. The dish is so integral to the region's identity that a festival, the Sagra dei Tortelli Cremaschi, is held annually in its honor.
