The story

About the dish

Parmigiano, prosciutto, caciotta, and pumpkin form the flavor foundation of Tortelli di Zucca alla Mantovana. The profile moves from a savory, gently tangy cheese note in Parmigiano and caciotta to salt-cured depth and rounded savor in prosciutto.

The Lombard reference in the dish points to northern traditions of rice, polenta, butter, cheeses and braised meats that vary markedly from province to province. In the dish, Parmigiano contributes a savory, gently tangy cheese note, giving that cultural setting a sensory anchor.
