Ingredients Flour, bread, eggs, milk, almond paste, and raisins.
How Made The flour is sifted onto a wooden board and kneaded with the bread, which has been moistened with milk, eggs, almond paste, and raisins. Walnut-sized gnocchi are formed, though sometimes they are rolled into sticks. They are boiled in salted water.
Also Known As Strangolapreti.
How Served As pastasciutta, with butter and grated cheese.
Where Found The Veneto, in the province of Padova in particular.
This dish was served for the vigils of holy days during fall and winter. In the Polesine, the part of the Veneto at the mouth of the Po, it is traditional to serve maneghi with butter, sugar, and cinnamon, a custom inherited from the aristocracy’s abundant use of sweeteners and spices during the Renaissance.
