Pansoti and ravioli of the Ligurian tradition on Sunday.
Last Sunday I went, with my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law, to eat at the trattoria Ou Settembrin in Carasco.
In the Ligurian tradition we couldn't help but order the pansoti with walnut sauce and the ravioli al tocco (with meat sauce); both very good as always!
Do you like these dishes? Which one would you choose?

If you want to know which are the best ravioli, in my opinion, go to the article with my personal ranking of the restaurants where I ate in the Province of Genoa di Levante.

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.
