A nice plate of pansoti with walnut sauce even on board.
When I'm on a ship, even if the food is very varied, I really miss home food.
So when I go to Savona or Genoa I always ask my wife to bring me something from home.
In this case I had asked for pansoti (the packaged but very good ones from the pasta factory Novella) to season with walnut sauce (this one prepared on board).
The result, as you can see for yourself, was excellent!
Do you like pansoti? If you prefer ravioli, go and see my article with my personal ranking of the restaurants where I ate the best ravioli with ragù in the Province of Levante Genoa.

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.
