Croxetti (aka Corzetti) is a coin-medallion pasta from Liguria imprinted with a family coat of arms, a tradition dating back to the Renaissance. Cooks would customize the pasta with a wooden stamp at the request of aristocrats who felt the need to distinguish themselves from the poor.
Here it is served with a walnut-pesto cream sauce with chicken.
