Corzetti | Photo Courtesy of Mama Isa's Cooking School . . Corzetti is a small disk of fresh pasta, similar to large coins, stamped out with a beautiful design using a handmade artisanal pasta tool called the "corzetti stamp". . . This is one of the oldest Italy's fresh pasta: it is documentend in Naples at the court of Charles II of Anjou at the end of thirteenth century. . The traditional corzetti you must make a good corzetti dough, and then you should press the dough between 2 wooden molds. . . In Liguria region the name is corzetti, but in Piedmont region the name is crosetti or croxetti. . . The wooden molds (the best wood is olive wood, but you can find walnut wood) with which the corzetti are stamped were common at the Renaissance courts in Italy. . Sometimes they were incised with arms, or names, or vegetal motifs, usually this culinary woodcut is imprinted with a pretty design. . The first piece of mold is the cutter piece, which cuts the corzetti dough. . The second is a sort of tiny cylinder incised with 2 stamps. . Corzetti is a beautiful fresh pasta. The decorative is functional, but helps to hold scant sauces! . . #pasta #mamaisacookingschool #homemadepasta #pastaroom #italy #corzetti #croxetti #crosetti #thegeometryofpasta #ministryofpasta #pastacartel #sfoglina #pastaia #pastaaddict #italiaintavola #feedfeed #pastafattaamano #pastafresca #cookingclass #tastingtable #foodceleb #EEEEEATS #bonappetitmag #pastaclass #italiantradition #f2grams #cheflife #slowfood (presso Cooking Classes in Venice)
