Sfoglia Lorda

Sfoglia Lorda is a beloved dish from the Romagna region of Italy, deeply tied to family traditions and festive occasions. Its name, meaning "dirty sheet," comes from the way the pasta dough is "dirtied" with a thin layer of cheese filling before being folded and cut. Traditionally, it is prepared for special gatherings, especially during the holidays or Sunday lunches, when families come together to enjoy a comforting meal. Unlike more elaborate stuffed pastas, Sfoglia Lorda is known for its simplicity and is often served in a rich, homemade broth, making it a symbol of warmth, hospitality, and culinary heritage in Romagna.
