Quadrelli with Chianina Beef and Cardoncelli Mushrooms
Quadrelli with Chianina beef and cardoncelli mushrooms are a premium frozen fresh egg pasta from the Divine Creazioni line by Surgital. Each square parcel weighs 12 to 16 g and carries a generous 55 percent filling of Chianina beef, braised cardoncelli mushrooms, ricotta and Parmigiano Reggiano DOP. The 2 kg box cooks in 4 to 5 minutes straight from frozen: a portion-controlled signature primo for professional kitchens, ready in under six minutes.
What Are Quadrelli
Quadrelli are square filled pasta, sealed around a rich core. In the Divine Creazioni interpretation, the golden sheet of durum wheat semolina and free-range eggs is rolled out as if handmade: a thin, slightly porous surface that grips butter emulsions and light jus. The generous size of 12 to 16 g per piece makes them ideal for elegant plating with 9 pieces per portion.
A Filling with Character: Chianina Beef and Cardoncello Mushrooms
Chianina is one of the oldest Italian cattle breeds, raised in central Italy and celebrated for tender, deeply savoury meat: the same breed behind the legendary bistecca alla fiorentina. The cardoncello mushroom, prized in southern Italian cooking for its firm, meaty texture, adds an earthy depth. In this filling the Chianina beef, 55 percent of the filling, is cooked with broth, red wine and garlic, then rounded off with ricotta, Parmigiano Reggiano DOP and 4 percent braised cardoncelli.
The Producer: Surgital, Lavezzola, Emilia-Romagna
Surgital was founded in 1980 in Lavezzola, in the province of Ravenna, by Romana Tamburini and Edoardo Bacchini as a 45 square metre artisan workshop named Laboratorio Artigianale Tortellini. Today the family company is a leading Italian producer of deep-frozen fresh pasta for the food service, with BRC and IFS certified production. Divine Creazioni is its haute cuisine line: high filling percentages, sheets rolled out as if by hand and signature recipes created for restaurants.

Professional Use in the Kitchen
Cook straight from frozen in salted boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes, then finish for 30 seconds in the pan. The official Surgital pairing is butter, thyme and black truffle; a light Parmigiano Reggiano cream or a porcini jus work equally well. Recommended portion: 9 pieces, about 120 g; the weight yield after cooking increases by around 20 percent.
Three mistakes to avoid: never thaw the pasta before cooking, keep a generous water ratio of about 1 litre per 100 g of pasta, and do not cover the refined filling with heavy tomato sauces.
Pairings and Menu Ideas
Pair the Quadrelli with Parmigiano Reggiano DOP Grattugiato Fresco, Swiss Vorzugsbutter butter and black truffle extra virgin olive oil from the LAPA catalogue. On the menu they sit naturally beside other Divine Creazioni and Laboratorio Tortellini shapes, such as Panciotti with asparagus and mascarpone or Lunette with truffle.
