Ingredients Rye flour, wheat flour, eggs, oil, and water. For the filling, spinach, ricotta, and potatoes, but also poppy seeds, nettles, or sauerkraut.

How Made The flours are sifted onto a wooden board and kneaded long and vigorously with a few eggs, a drop of oil, and some lukewarm water to form a dough, which is then left to rest. The dough is rolled out with a rolling pin into a thin sheet, and a mold or inverted glass is used to cut out disks about 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter. A teaspoon of filling is placed in the center of each disk, which is then folded into a half-moon and the edges carefully sealed. The half-moons are boiled in plenty of salted water.
