Sorrentinos are a type of Argentine ravioli, but larger, more circular and originally wrapped without fluted edge.[1] The dough is made with flour and eggs, and the filling of the original recipe consists of York ham and mozzarella.
History
[edit]Italian-Argentine chef Donato Di Santis says that sorrentinos are not an Italian pasta, and almost certainly have their origins in the Rio de La Plata region.[2] It is believed that sorrentinos are a local variant of the Italian ravioli capresi,[3] whose dough is instead elaborated with flour, water and olive oil, while the filling is made with caciotta cheese, flavoured with oregano.[4]
Most sources point to an Italian immigrant from Sorrento, Rosal�a P�rsico or his son Cayetano P�rsico, who created this pasta while working in a famous trattoria of Mar del Plata,[2][5][6] while other sources state that they originated in another restaurant in Mar del Plata called Sorrento.[5][7][8] There is a slightly different version of the later story, in which a chef from Mar del Plata made the first sorrentinos in a Buenos Aires' restaurant whose name is also Sorrento.[9] Argentino "Chiche" V�spoli, another immigrant from Sorrento was the owner of the first restaurant to serve up the dish, and recognized as such by Sorrento's authorities and the Sorrento's chapter of Lions Club.[10]
Ingredients
[edit]The dough is made with flour and eggs, and they have a variety of fillings that can combine mozzarela, ricotta, York ham, spinach, pumpkin, chard, caramelized onions or nuts.[5][7][11] There are variants that add fish, herbs and olives to the filling, like salmon mixed with rosemary[12] or tuna with parsley and olives.[13] The use of poultry is not unusual.[14] In the original recipe, the pasta was shaped with the border of a cup.[6] There are gluten-free and vegan recipes, with the dough made of rice flour, water and oil.[14][15] The sauce for Sorrentinos in the original recipe is the "V�spoli's sauce", a mix of melted cheese, spinach and basil.[16]
