The difference
Casunziei vs Mezzelune
Both are half-moon stuffed pasta, but casunziei is the specific Dolomite one, its beet-red filling finished with butter, poppy seeds, and smoked ricotta. Mezzelune is the generic half-moon, named for the crescent fold and filled however the kitchen likes. Casunziei is a mezzaluna with an Ampezzo accent.
