Cartoccio night at Mama’s house is always a family event. She lays out the parchment paper and calls everyone over. the kids included, so we can all build our own little packets together. Each one gets a piece of white fish, a scoop of pesto jasmine rice, tomatoes, onions, parsley, lemon, and those cute little beans lined up just right.

The best part? Watching Mama go around to each packet with her magic finishing touches. A drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, and her famous splash of Gratsi White“just for flavor”.
We fold them up, pop them in the oven, and before long the whole kitchen smells like a seaside feast. It’s delicious, it’s wholesome, and honestly… it’s one of the most fun meals to make as a family.

Who wants to come over and make one with us?

A kitchen counter with wooden bowls containing green beans, cherry tomatoes, rice, and herbs. A glass of white wine and a GRATSI sign are also visible, with a kitchen in the background.

The kitchen is well-lit with dark cabinets.

STEP 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Cook your rice and mix your basil pesto in. Salt and pepper to taste.

A wooden board holds bowls of cherry tomatoes, green beans, rice, pesto, and a glass cup of oil. A plate with raw fish fillets, fresh parsley, and a red onion are also arranged neatly with a knife. A hand holds a large spoon, mixing white rice with green herbs in a wooden bowl on a wooden countertop.

STEP 2

Prepare your sheet pan to accommodate all your packets.
Prepare your foil with parchment paper on top.

Green beans are being blanched; some are boiling in a pan on the stove while others are cooling in a large wooden bowl filled with ice water and ice cubes on a kitchen counter. A wooden bowl filled with green beans, grape tomatoes, and sliced red onions sits on a cutting board in a kitchen. A boxed wine labeled GRATSI White is nearby, with cabinets and a stove in the background.

STEP 3

Place your fish down with rice on the side. Add the rest of ingredients on top of fish and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle olive oil and add lemon juice and parsley on your fish.

STEP 4

Grab both sides of your parchment paper and pinch closed, then fold and roll into a packet. Place packets onto baking sheet.
Cook for 45 minutes.
