The story

About the dish

Davanti’s homemade pasta parcels hold bread, Parmigiano, garlic and parsley, then meet butter, Parma prosciutto and sage in the pan. The bread and cheese give the filling mellow, savory depth; garlic and parsley add freshness, while butter carries the woodland perfume of sage and the prosciutto contributes a salty finish.

Casoncelli are part of the Sunday-table culture of Brescia and nearby towns. Regione Lombardia describes the Brescian style as thin pasta with a delicate bread-and-cheese filling, a tradition passed through families and neighboring communities.
