Stamped pasta

Corzetti

Quick answer

Corzetti are thin coins of pasta stamped with wooden molds.

Corzetti means "little crosses" in Italian.

Best sauces: pesto, marjoram and pine nuts. Match the shape to the sauce — long thin pasta for oil and light sauces, tubes and ridges for chunky or meaty sauces, flat egg ribbons for rich ragù and butter.
