Corzetti Flower

The corzetti are a typical pasta of Liguria in the north-west of Italy. Apparently, their origin goes back to the Middle Ages where it was used by the noble families to stamp the Family’s Coat of Arms and emphasize the importance of their lineage. This decoration, however is not only made for aesthetical reasons, but because the pasta is more impregnated by the sauce due to the uneven surface of the corzetti, resulting in much more savory dishes. The corzetti are traditionally served with a nut or mushroom sauce. The Pastalinda Corzetti are made in solid wood which permits to stamp different patterns on the pasta. They come in four different designs.
