The casoncelli (Casonsèi in Lombard dialect) are a typical filled pasta specialty in Lombardy, particularly popular in the provinces of Bergamo and Brescia.
The recipe includes multiple local variations, but with some inevitable basic ingredients; the filling consists of meat, grated parmesan cheese and herbs, while the pasta has the shape of a crushed half moon. Everything is spiced with plenty of grated parmesan cheese, butter, bacon and sage. It's also popular the version made with a single sheet of pasta.
