Culurgiones | Ricetta Tradizionale Sarda | Pasta | Sardinian Culurgiones

Culurgiones are a typical recipe from Sardinia Italy, originating from a region called Ogliastra. The concept of culurgiones is similar to that of ravioli, but the shape and the taste are not even remotely similar. Their shape will remind you of a wheat spike, filled with mashed potatoes, mint and pecorino cheese. This pasta recipe captures the fragrance and flavors of the island in every bite. Buon Appetito!
