Treat yourself to some of the finest flavours of the sun-drenched Italian South with our ‘nduja & burrata mezzelune. Parcels of fresh pasta, crafted into half moon shapes, conceal a mouth-wateringly decadent filling that showcases some of lo stivale’s best-loved exports. The characteristic, fiery richness of ‘nduja sausage is suspended in creamy, fresh burrata - the jewel in the crown of Italian cheeses. Renowned for its buttery consistency and delicate flavour, burrata is crafted by artisan cheesemakers located in the stunning Apulia region of the South. Pronounced an-du-yah, the spicy and spreadable ‘nduja hails from Calabria, likewise located in Southern Italy. This salume (cured meat) blends rich cuts of pork, such as the belly and shoulder, with sweet and spicy paprika and hot Calabrian peppers, boasting a unique flavour that pairs perfectly with delicate burrata, and shines in our mezzelune.
We anoint our ‘nduja & burrata mezzelune with fragrant sage butter, lending an earthy aroma and enticing gloss to the dish. We finish our pasta, of course, with an obligatory sprinkling of Italian cheese – buon appetito!
