Rondelli, the Brazilian Italian Dish

rondelli rondelli rondelli rondelli rondelli rondelli rondelli rondelli

in Brazil you can find rondelli in many Italian restaurants, but also in most supermarkets, fresh or frozen.

it is a simple recipe that consists in pasta, ham, cheese and cream. An irresistible mix that usually conquer any palate.

You can dress it with tomato sauce or just cream, as we prefer. It is such a comforting dish, hot from the oven and with that familiar taste that recalls good food (ham and cheese do their part 😉 ).

An important tip: the pasta sheet has to be thick. Don’t use those super thin that are sold as “no boiling needed” label. With thin pasta you won’t be able to create the rolls that compose this recipe.

You can use the cheese you prefer. I like the Swiss type (Emmenthal) as it is tasty but do not dominate over the other ingredients.
