The popularity of contemporary tomato ketchup is linked to the history of mushroom ketchup, which spans several centuries. The earliest known version of ketchup originated in China in the seventeenth century. The first ketchup was prepared from fermented anchovies, unlike the tomato ketchup that is made nowadays.
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.
