The story behind

Panzotis are a family lunch favorite due to their generous size and hearty filling. At home, we always made sure the dough was tender to highlight the flavor of the fresh spinach from the market. It is a dish that feels both artisanal and professional at the same time, ideal for sharing a comforting and clean home-style meal.

Instructions

  1. 1
    1. Rustic Sauce: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and sauté the garlic until fragrant. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook over medium heat until they break down and thicken. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano.

    2. Cooking the pasta: Boil plenty of salted water. Cook the panzotis until they float to the surface (approximately 3-5 minutes).
  3. 3
    3. Integration: Carefully drain the pasta and transfer it directly to the skillet with the warm tomato sauce. Toss gently so as not to break the dough.
