Corzetti (sometimes called croxetti or curzetti) are small, thin rounds of pasta which are pressed with the special wooden hand-tool to create an embossed pattern. This embossing helps the pasta to hold the sauce and add flavour. The finished pasta has a pattern on both sides, with an intricate design on one side and a ridged pattern on the other.
Corzetti pasta is typically found in the Riviera di Levante, on the Ligurian coast near Genova. The name is thought to come from the medieval Genoan coin, the corzetto.
5.3 x 5.5 cm (makes 5cm round pasta)
Corzetti are usually served with a simple meat or mushroom sauce, pesto, pine nut or walnut sauce, fish sauce, or a light cream sauce.
Do not submerge in water
Ideally let any excess pasta dry and then brush off with a small cleaning brush.
