Stuffed Pasta with Asparagus and Buffalo Mozzarella 1 kg (carton approx. 5 kg) – Pastificio Marcello

What is the Asparagus and Buffalo Mozzarella Tortellone

Pastificio Marcello's Asparagus and Buffalo Mozzarella Tortellone is an artisanally crafted stuffed fresh pasta. It stands out at first glance for its emerald green dough, obtained by including spinach directly in the dough made of type 00 soft wheat flour and fresh eggs. Inside, it holds a soft and balanced filling, where the vegetal sweetness of the asparagus perfectly matches the rich and savory creaminess of real buffalo mozzarella.

The producer and the artisanal tradition

Pastificio Marcello, a historic Milanese workshop founded in 1939, is a benchmark for high-end fresh pasta. All specialties are handmade, following a strict production philosophy that excludes the addition of water, preservatives, or artificial colors. The pasteurized eggs and selected flours guarantee an elastic and porous dough, capable of enhancing any type of sauce and keeping the authentic flavors of the ingredients intact.

Organoleptic characteristics in the kitchen

On the palate, this pasta offers a dual experience: the pleasantly firm texture of the egg pasta contrasts with the melting heart of the filling. The fresh asparagus provide an aromatic spring note, while the buffalo mozzarella adds a velvety lactic component and a slight acidity that cleanses the palate. The generous shape of the tortellone ensures an excellent proportion between pasta and filling in every bite.

Usage tips for professionals

Given that it is a product with a delicate and structured flavor, it is advisable not to overpower it with excessively intense or heavy sauces. In professional kitchens, the best way to enhance it is with simple and essential seasonings: the traditional melted butter and sage, enriched with a sprinkle of Parmigiano Reggiano, a light zucchini pesto, or simply a drizzle of excellent quality extra virgin olive oil. The short cooking times allow for fast and efficient service.

Format and storage methods

The product is designed for the practical needs of the catering industry and is supplied in convenient 1 kg packages, grouped in cartons weighing a total of about 5 kg. As it is artisanal fresh pasta without chemical preservatives, it is essential to maintain the cold chain. Storage must strictly take place in the refrigerator at a temperature between 0°C and +4°C until the moment of use.
