This recipe offers a delicious blend of Argentine culinary tradition infused with Provençal herb fragrances, embodied in the form of sorrentinos — Argentinian-style stuffed pasta resembling ravioli but typically larger and with distinct herb-rich fillings. Provenzal flavors come from fresh parsley, thyme, and garlic within a creamy ricotta and parmesan filling that captures the essence of Mediterranean fare with Latin American heart.
Sorrentinos originated in Argentina due to Italian immigrants adapting their pasta-making, and this dish perfectly illustrates the cultural fusion present in Argentina’s contagious foodie landscape. The silky-thick salsa blanca is inspired by classic béchamel with added parmesan and musky nutmeg, elevating flavor complexity and indulgence.
Key tips include resting your dough which relaxes gluten, making it easier to roll; ensuring no filling gaps for drool-worthy sorrentino pockets; and slowly whisking the milk into your roux to prevent lumps in the sauce. This recipe suits cooks with intermediate-level pasta-making skills to explore homemade stuffing, sealing, and sauce crafting. Its moderate ingredient list celebrates simple pantry staples and fresh herbs.
Provenzal Sorrentinos con Salsa Blanca balance tender pasta, herbed ricotta richness, and a luxuriously smooth surface of white cheese sauce. It’s a heartwarming comfort food perfect for a family dinner, special occasions, or as a thoughtful gift dinner to impress favorites. Enjoy the genuine taste of artistry and warmth in every bite!
