Mbillimbant or Mbillimbanti

Typical pasta from Corleto Perticara, in Basilicata. Tradition has it that it is produced from the scraps of other pastas, which are then "re-massed" and passed through the "mbllmbander," a special tool similar to a grater with larger holes.
Typically used with a meat broth but also with a ragù or tomato sauce.
The Mbillimbant is not just a pasta dish; it represents a connection to the historical and cultural roots of Corleto Perticara. Every time it is prepared and shared, it evokes the traditions and stories of the local community, highlighting its role as a symbol of identity and belonging.
The production is entrusted to Antonello Guerrieri of Ristorante Le Gourmet in Corleto Perticara.
