95 Keerom celebrates stuffed pasta with special menu this June

There's nothing like icy weather, torrential downpours and gloomy charcoal skies to tempt you to indulge in all the carbs. Perfect timing then that this June, Chef Giorgio Nava from authentic Italian restaurant 95 Keerom in Long Street introduces his special pasta ripiena menu.

Pasta ripiena means stuffed pasta in Italian and Nava’s menu features his personal favourites of ravioli, tortellinini, fagottini and more, all handmade, silky smooth and delicately filled, moulded and cooked. I mean you had me at stuffed pasta, however, if you need further tempting then read further.

Parcels of pleasure

The special menu features delightful parcels of pleasure such as the seductively silky Ravioli di spinaci o zucca, a spinach or butternut ravioli with ricotta, topped with sage butter, crispy sage leaves and parmesan; as well as the absolute crowd pleaser, the Tortellini di prosciutto crudo alla panna which is a rich Parma ham tortellini in cream and topped with diced parma ham and 24-month Grana Padano. So comforting this dish feels like a warm hug from a nonna.

If you’re looking for something a little lighter than perhaps my ultimate favourite the Fagottini al gorgozola in brodo, a small blue cheese filled pasta in a light yet flavourful packed broth would better suit your palette.

Carb loving

Or perhaps, the Tortelli con asparagi  e spinaci, an asparagus and spinach tortelli in a vibrantly green asparagus sauce and topped with 24-month Grana Padano *speaka a more your language * - read in a bad impersonation of an Italian accent.

Richly layered lasagne and hearty cannelloni also feature on the menu.
