Cialzon Pasta

Stuffed pasta made to look like a half-round sun with rays extending upward. This pasta is made by first cutting pasta dough into 4-inch strips and then cutting 3-inch diameter circles out of the strips. A teaspoon of filling is placed in the center of the circle and the dough is then folded over the filling into a half circle shape. Pressing the dough together along the open edge seals the edges of the dough. The sealed edge is then gathered in even spaces along the edge to create 5 extended piece of edging that are at right angles to the flattened edge.
