Characteristics
The filling of the agnolotti pavesi is based on Pavese stew.[1] The recipe for this stuffed egg-based pasta is characterized by influences from Piedmontese and Piacentino cuisine, characteristics of areas that border the Oltrepò Pavese.[5] The shape of the pasta was based on the Piedmontese agnolotti, and the filling of Pavese stew is based on stracotto alla piacentina, which is the filling for Piacentino anolini.[6] Piedmontese agnolotti, in particular, differ from the agnolotti pavesi due to the filling, which is instead based on roast meat.[7] Agnolotti pavesi is a typical dish of the Christmas tradition,[8] and are consumed during celebrations and important occasions.[9]
