Casunziei Rossi

Casunziei Rossi

I have a lot of memories related to this dish, since when - I was about 5 year old - I was helping my grandma to seal them with a fork.
Casunziei are typical of my hometown Cortina d’Ampezzo, where every woman has her own recipe. There is also a verdi or green version, where the filling is made with some special wild greens, even if nowadays many use chard or even spinach - ahhhh what a shame! - instead. I like them both, but if I have to choose, I'll take the ones with the beets.
Obviously, I think that the ones made by my grandma Giovanna are really special. Few years ago, when she made them, she would prepare hundreds and have the whole family over for lunch, nieces, nephews and their partners included. Now that she's gotten older, the invite is more selective and we have to fight to be the chosen ones. My brother Kristian and my cousin Francesco are the biggest fan and they always manage to score a seat at her table. To tell you the truth, they even fight on who's able to eat more. If I'm not wrong, my brother still holds the record, when few year ago he was able to eat 89 casunziei! As for me, I've always wondered how they could keep track of the amount while eating. : )
Yesterday I felt a little homesick, and since the weather was cold and rainy, I thought it would be the perfect afternoon to spend in the kitchen. I dedicated them to my beloved Cortina. Don't forget to give them a try, if you happen to be there.


Casunziei Rossi
for approximately 60 casunziei

flour 300 gr. (200 gr. type O, 100 gr. semolina)
eggs 3
red beets 450 gr. (cooked amount)
potatoes 150 gr. (cooked amount)
bread crumbs 1 tbs
salt, pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, oliv oil
butter, parmigiano cheese, poppy seeds


For the filling, cook beets and potatoes separately. You can either boil them or - better yet - roast them in the oven, wrapping them individually in foil (this way they'll absorb less water and the flavour will be more intense). Peel them and puree them using a potato masher and trying to eliminate as much water as possible. Mix the two, calculating a third of the weight of potatoes and two thirds of beets.
Heat a little oliv oil and butter in a large pan, add a tablespoon of bread crumns (you can also use flour), let it toast slightly and then add the filling, seasoning it with salt, pepper and a generous amount of cinnamon and nutmeg.
Stir and let it cook for about 5 minutes, to absorb the excess moisture, then let it cool down. You can also prepare the filling one day in advance and keep it in the refrigerator.
Prepare the egg pasta as usual, cut out circles of about two, or two and a half inches diameter, put a small amount of filling in the middle, brush the edges with egg yolk (slightly beaten in a cup) so that they will adhere better, close to form a half-moon and then seal pressing the edges with a fork.
Cook the casunziei in boiling water for few minutes, dress with grated parmigiano cheese, brown butter and poppy seeds.
Did I pass the test?

Hi. Love the Dolomites and we've made casunziei a couple of times since coming back from a trip there in '09. I'd love to be able to do the version with beets and smoked ricotta, though. We live in Berkeley and I have never been able to find a source for smoked ricotta anywhere in the East Bay or SF (the Cheese Board in Berkeley has recently started carrying a dry, smoked sheep's milk cheese from Austria that comes close). Do you know where I could find it?

Hi, so glad you like the casunziei and had the chance to try them in the dolomites! Unfortunately I have never seen smoked ricotta here, I know the ricotta salata is pretty popular, but it's quite different. Have you tried to check Rainbow Grocery, or else Ferrari Food?
There is also a gourmet supermarket in Glen Park, called Canyon Market, they carry a lot of different cheeses, they might have it.
Good luck!

Ironically, given Kendrick Michael Kors Purses Clearance Lamar's tacit sponsorship, the alternative an album like The Epic Bolsos Michael Kors Baratos would Oakley Sunglasses Sale UK need to propose would be to the nastiness Longchamp Soldes Destockage of much present day hip hop, including Lamar's Ray Ban Sunglasses Sale UK To Pimp a Butterfly.

Say this is merely coincidence, and you'll get no argument from me.

Jordan Retro 12 Black Cat, You might wonder why people who never had a problem with CCFL backlit screens are now complaining about their new LED monitors or TVs hurting their eyes. CCFLs in LCD panels also use PWM dimming, so why don't they cause the same issues? There are two main reasons for this. First of all, a LED can be turned on and off almost instantly, but a fluorescent lamp will glow briefly even after the power is cut, providing a smoother transition between "on" and "off" states.

Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida sent a letter last week to White House national security adviser John Bolton asking that the Pentagon delay awarding the contract, contending that the process suffered from a "lack of competition" and the use of "arbitrary criteria and standards for bidders" that could waste taxpayer dollars and "fail to provide our warfighters with the best technology solutions.".

At the end of July, when the Bureau of Economic Analysis released its blockbuster 4.1% economic growth rate estimate for the second quarter, few noticed another announcement from the statistical agency: A total revamp of its gross domestic product calculations, going back decades.

And while the updated calculations only changed overall economic growth by a tiny bit each year, total business investments climbed by almost a whole percentage point on average for each year between 2002 and 2017.. {tag: Yeezy Boost 350v2 Cream White}
