hardstuffed
Hardstuffed is a term that refers to a type of stuffed pasta dish, typically made with a filling of breadcrumbs, cheese, and sometimes other ingredients like herbs or vegetables. The term "hardstuffed" is often used to distinguish this dish from other types of stuffed pasta, such as ravioli or tortellini, which are typically filled with a softer, more delicate mixture. The breadcrumbs in hardstuffed give the pasta a crispy, crunchy texture when cooked, which is a key characteristic of the dish. Hardstuffed can be made with various types of pasta, including penne, rigatoni, and ziti, and is often served as a main dish or a side dish. The dish is popular in Italian cuisine and is often served with a variety of sauces, such as marinara or Alfredo.
