Casônsèi from Val Camonica

This authentic Casônsèi della Val Camonica recipe brings a taste of Northern Italy to your kitchen. A traditional specialty from the Lombardy region, these handmade pasta parcels are filled with a savoury blend of Italian sausage, earthy Swiss chard, and creamy mashed potatoes. Finished with a simple dressing of melted butter and plenty of grated Parmesan, this dish offers a wonderful balance of textures and deep, comforting flavours that celebrate rustic mountain cooking.

As a high-protein main course, these stuffed pasta horseshoes are surprisingly hearty and perfect for a slow weekend project or an impressive dinner party. The combination of fresh egg pasta and a rich, seasoned filling makes this a satisfying homemade alternative to shop-bought tortellini. For the best results, ensure you squeeze as much moisture as possible from the chard to keep the filling firm and flavourful.

Ingredients for Casônsèi from Val Camonica

  • 350g plain flour, plus extra for dusting

  • 3 eggs

  • 1 cucharada de aceite de oliva

  • 450g 60g potatoes, diced

  • 400g Swiss chard, stalks removed

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • 1 diente de ajo, finamente picado

  • 1 sprig chopped fresh parsley

  • 1 leek, chopped

  • 200g Italian sausage, skinned and chopped

  • 90g bread crumbs

  • Generous 120g grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 huevo, ligeramente batido

  • Sal y pimienta

  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted

  • 150g grated Parmesan cheese

Make the pasta dough. Sift the flour into a mound on a counter and make a well in the centre. Break the eggs into the well and add the oil and a pinch of salt. Knead to a soft dough, shape into a ball, cover with a clean dish towel, and let rest for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the filling. Cook the potatoes in lightly salted boiling water for 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain and mash. Cook the chard leaves in just enough boiling water to cover for 5-10 minutes until tender. Drain, squeeze out the excess liquid, and chop. Melt the butter in a pan. Add the garlic and parsley and cook over low heat, stirring frequently for a few minutes. Add the leek and sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool. Combine the sausage mixture, mashed potatoes, chard, bread crumbs, Parmesan, and egg in a bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured counter into a thin sheet. Cut out rectangles about 3 1/4 x 6 1/4 inches. Put a mound of filling on each one, roll the dough up, and press the edges well to seal, then gently bend into a horseshoe shape. Cook the casônsèi in plenty of salted boiling water for 5 minutes until al dente. Drain, transfer to a warmed serving dish, pour the melted butter over them, and sprinkle with Parmesan. Serve immediately.
