Creating "Crest Pasta" Served at Italian Weddings with a Sealing Stamp♡

About Corzetti

Do you all know about a food called Corzetti??

(They are sold at places like Dean & Deluca!)

"Looks like a sealing stamp"

"Looks like cookie dough before baking"

From its appearance, I think there are various impressions, but... in fact, this Corzetti is truly pasta!♡

Corzetti is a flat, round pasta with a diameter of 5 to 7 cm that originated in the Liguria region in northwestern Italy.

In authentic Italy, a special wooden stamp is used to imprint family crests or shop logos on the surface.*

In ancient Europe, it is said that during weddings, pasta made with family crests was served,

and when meals were served to the public on holidays, noble or clan emblems were stamped as a symbol of power.

In Japan, it is not very familiar, but it is a very rare and stylish embossed pasta that is different from regular noodle types, and looks delicious!♡

(Especially seems to go well with dishes like pescatore)

How to make it??

Making Corzetti seems like a high hurdle and looks difficult since you have to make the dough from scratch!

However, once you make the dough, all you have to do is roll it flat, shape it into circles, and stamp it.♩

Then you just boil it.

You can also use cookie cutters for the shaping!

I want to make it with the family crests or initials of both families!

While making Corzetti, if you created patterns on the surface using the family crests or initials of the bride and groom, it would create a wonderful original pasta, don't you think?♡

Mixing two types of pasta made with the family crests or designed with the couple’s initials would be like the "water ceremony" where their separate waters are mixed together.

Requesting this for the dishes during the wedding reception party might be a nice idea too.*

I want to make Corzetti and serve it to my partner and parents!♡

Just making pasta from scratch is impressive, but if Corzetti featuring our family crests or initials appeared on the table...

They would probably think, "How honored I am to marry a woman who is such a great cook."♡

This type of pasta is often served during holidays in authentic Italy, so,

why not try making it for events, birthdays, anniversaries, or when your parents come to visit??

They will definitely be pleased!♩
