Pissarei e fasò: the traditional peasant dish, tastier than ever

Appetizing and nutritious, pissarei e fasò (also called Pisarei) is an ancient peasant recipe consisting of small gnocchi served with a bean sauce. The origin of this dish dates back to the Middle Ages, when monks in the Piacenza area prepared simple but nutritious meals for pilgrims traveling to Rome. The dish has always been a staple of the peasant diet, as it was very humble (the gnocchi are made from stale bread and water) but hearty. Thanks to this, the recipe has been passed down to the present day. Included, you will also find a jar of ready-made bean sauce, prepared according to the traditions of Piacenza. You only need to heat the sauce and cook the pissarei in boiling water for a few minutes and it will be ready to serve!
