The excellent pansoti with walnut sauce also at home.
Pansoti with walnut sauce is a typical dish of the Ligurian tradition, loved for its rich flavor and simplicity. This specialty, originally from the Riviera di Levante, is perfect for those who want to bring a bit of Liguria to the table, even at home.
Pansoti, or pansotti, are a variety of stuffed pasta, similar to ravioli, but triangular or crescent-shaped. The traditional filling is based on preboggion, a mix of wild herbs typical of Liguria, ricotta and parmesan. Their particularity lies in the delicacy of the filling, which marries perfectly with the creaminess of the walnut sauce.
Walnut sauce is a creamy and tasty condiment, prepared with walnuts, bread soaked in milk, garlic, parmesan, olive oil and a pinch of salt. Its preparation is simple, but requires high-quality ingredients to obtain the best result. The walnuts must be fresh and well shelled, while the olive oil must be extra virgin to ensure an authentic flavor.
Pansoti with walnut sauce is a dish that conquers at first taste. Perfect for a dinner with family or friends, they bring the authentic flavors of Liguria to the table. Preparing them at home is a way to rediscover Italian culinary traditions and share moments of conviviality.
In this case both the pansoti and the walnut sauce were the packaged (but very good) ones from the pasta factory Novella in Sori.

Pansoti, pansòti in Ligurian, (from the Ligurian pansa, in Italian “belly”), are a typical stuffed pasta of Ligurian cuisine, similar to ravioli, from which they differ essentially in size and the absence of meat in the filling. Pansoti with walnut sauce (pansöti co-a sarsa de noxe) are one of the cheapest and most characteristic dishes of the Genoese tradition. Since pansoti do not contain meat, they are a lean dish, once considered suitable for the penitential period of Lent. They are often mistakenly also called “pansòtti”, as in some Ligurian provinces there is verbal emphasis on the last syllables; the double letter is therefore to be attributed to an exclusively vocal language.
