Our journey to discover the regional flavors of Lombardy focuses today on the recipe for Mantuan donut and resumadaa preparation of peasant origin.

The Mantua donut, also called Bussolano, it can be prepared with or without the hole and is not as soft as you might expect from a donut. Precisely this characteristic means that it is usually enjoyed by dipping it in wine or in the resumada, a sweet and frothy cream based on eggs, sugar and wine.

The recipe we propose is Ilaria Castelli, from Lombardy, 47 years old, who founded Chef and the City in Milan, a cooking school that welcomes students from all over the world. She also does catering and home chef services. Her cuisine is an anti-waste cuisine that seeks “primary, natural and original” flavours.

The gnocchi cook in boiling water in a few minutes; to season them you can use simple tomato sauce, the classic Bolognese ragù, but also try the Sorrento gnocchi, the pan-fried gnocchi or the potato gnocchi with pesto.
