Pasta Carcione, also known as Calzone or stuffed pasta, is a type of folded pizza that originated in the Campania region of Italy. It is a delicious and versatile dish that can be filled with various ingredients, making it a popular choice for both home cooks and restaurant chefs. While there are many different recipes for pasta carcione, they all share some common features. The dough is typically made with flour, water, yeast, and salt, and it is rolled out into a thin sheet. The filling is then added, which can include anything from cheese and meat to vegetables and seafood. The dough is then folded over the filling and sealed, and the carcione is baked in the oven until golden brown.
