turuordeli

Turuordeli is a traditional dish originating from the northern regions of Italy, particularly in the Piedmont and Lombardy areas. The name "turuordeli" is derived from the Piedmontese language, where "turu" means "tower" and "ordeli" refers to the small, round pasta shape. The dish consists of small, round pasta shapes, typically made from durum wheat semolina, which are boiled until al dente and then tossed with a rich, creamy sauce made from a combination of butter, Parmesan cheese, and sometimes a touch of cream or milk. The sauce is typically seasoned with nutmeg and salt, and sometimes a hint of garlic or white wine. Turuordeli is often served as a side dish or a light main course, accompanied by various meats, cheeses, or vegetables. Its simplicity and comforting flavor make it a popular choice in Italian cuisine.
