Calzonicchi

Ingredients Wheat flour and eggs. For the filling, brains, onion, and spices.

How Made The flour is sifted onto a wooden board and kneaded long and vigorously with eggs until a firm, smooth dough forms, then left to rest. It is rolled out with a rolling pin into a thin sheet and cut with a toothed pasta cutter into roughly 1¼-inch (3-cm) squares. A teaspoon of filling is placed in the center of each square and the square is folded into a triangle. The calzonicchi are cooked in broth.

Also Known As Tortellini di cervello.
