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?
