Mezzelune (Italian: [ˌmɛddzeˈluːne], meaning 'half moons'), also known as Schlutzkrapfen[1] in South Tyrol, Tyrol and neighbouring German-speaking regions, and as crafuncins or cajincì in Ladin-speaking regions, are a semi-circular stuffed pasta, similar to ravioli or pierogi.[2][3] The dough is usually made of white flour or buckwheat flour, durum semolina, mixed with eggs and olive oil. Typical fillings may include cheese (such as ricotta, quark, mozzarella, or Bitto), spinach, or mushrooms (such as porcini, chanterelles, or champignons). There are also recipes with potato, meat, red beet, or sauerkraut filling. The dish may be served with mushroom or pesto sauce, with sausage, with seafood, and/or with cherry tomatoes.
Similar types of pasta are known as casunziei in Dolomites area, casoncelli in Lombardy, and cjarsons in Friuli-Venezia Giulia.[_citation needed_]
