Casunziei (also called casonciei, casanzes or csanzöi) is the name in Ladin for a type of stuffed pasta, consisting of a filling sealed between two layers of thin pasta dough, folded in a typical half-moon shape. They are commonly homemade and are typical of the culinary tradition of the Dolomites area, in the northeastern part of Italy, especially the provinces of Belluno, Bolzano, and Trento.
The square shell, typically about 3.5 by 3.5 cm, consists of two sheets of pasta pressed together at the borders, like those of ravioli.
