Pasta-Crespelle filled with Mushrooms and Walnuts

Pane-Bistecca
In my cooking course “Italian Cooking – Homemade Pasta” we made Pasta-Crespelle filled with Mushrooms and Walnuts.

Often Crespelle are made with a crepe dough, hence the name (Crespelle = Crepe) but in the Piedmont they are also done with a pasta dough. It is a lengthy process, I admit, but well worth it! The pasta roll will be silky soft and really delicious!

I filled it with a walnut and mushroom filling, making it unique, the nuts giving it a bit of crunch! Some of my visitors thought it to be meat! This is an old very traditional dish from the Piedmont, where my mother comes from. It has long been forgotten, but now some famous cooks started to serve it in their restaurants again.
