Pissarei e fasò: the first course of the peasant tradition

Tasty and nutritious, pissarei e fasò (also called Pisarei) are an ancient peasant recipe with little  bread dumplings, a handmade pasta to be served with bean sauce.

The origin of this dish dates back to the Middle Ages, when the monks of Piacenza prepared poor but nutritious dishes for the pilgrims going to Rome. The dish has always been at the base of the peasant diet, as it is made with  very poor ingredients (the bread gnocchi are made with just dry bread and water). Thanks to this, the recipe has been handed through generations.
