They are also called "tortelli matti" or "Carnival tortelli" because they were eaten during Carnival. How are balanzoni made? To make the classic recipe of green balanzoni with mortadella you should close them as you do tortellini and not as I do for Romagna cappelletti — you can follow the tortellini procedure HERE: https://blog.giallozafferano.it/asilannablu/tortellini-bolognesi-ricetta-primo-piatto/ . The balanzoni are therefore a filled fresh pasta in which the dough is made by replacing part of the eggs with boiled, well-drained spinach. How are balanzoni dressed? The classic and recommended dressing for balanzoni is butter and sage, but you can also consider other dressings such as balanzoni with mascarpone and sausage, balanzoni with a Parmesan cream and even more indulgent if enriched with speck or ham. It's a pasta I made in a cooking class during the Cibò So Good event held in Bologna at Palazzo Re Enzo and then we brought it home for a tasting.
