Filled pasta
Culurgiones
Quick answer
Culurgiones are Sardinian potato-and-pecorino dumplings sealed with a wheat-ear braid.
Culurgiones means "Sardinian name" in Italian.
Best sauces: tomato and basil, butter. 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.

Quick answer
What can I use instead of dry white wine in a recipe?
Replace dry white wine with an equal amount of chicken stock plus 1 teaspoon of lemon juice or white wine vinegar per 1/2 cup. Dry vermouth is a straight 1:1 swap, and for risotto, stock plus a splash of vinegar works perfectly.
