Argentinian Pasta Sorrentinos
These plump, sun-shaped pasta pockets are a beloved staple of Argentine cuisine, famously hailing from the coastal city of Mar del Plata. Larger and more indulgent than standard ravioli, they are traditionally stuffed with a creamy blend of ricotta, spinach, and the earthy crunch of walnuts. Each mouthful is a comforting embrace of heritage and texture, served simply to let the handmade craft take centre stage. It is a dish that invites a slow, shared meal with family and friends.

10 stepslightbulb Chef's tips
Ensure the filling is completely chilled before you begin assembly to prevent the dough from softening or tearing. If you lack a specific sorrentino mould, a small glass or round cookie cutter works beautifully to seal and shape the parcels.
All done!
