Why cooks start here
Sorrentinos are large round stuffed pasta, a Buenos Aires invention more than a Sorrento one: ham and cheese, or ricotta, in a thick moon. They are a restaurant plate that home cooks make for a birthday.
Sorrentinos, a creation born from the bustling kitchens of Buenos Aires, grace the table with their generous, round forms. Unlike their Italian namesake, these pasta moons are uniquely Argentine, filled with either creamy ricotta or gooey mozzarella, often alongside minced ham. A staple in local restaurants, they're a special treat crafted at home for celebratory occasions like birthdays, bringing a touch of festivity to the meal. Bite into a Sorrentino, and you're met with a harmonious blend of creamy cheese and savory ham, encased in tender pasta. The richness is perfectly complemented by a drizzle of tomato sauce or a delicate sheen of brown butter, offering a luxurious mouthfeel that celebrates the essence of Argentine comfort food.
