Casoncelli (Italian: [kazonˈtʃɛlli]; Lombard: casonsèi, Lombard: [kazonˈsɛj], in Eastern Lombard) are a type of stuffed pasta typical of the culinary tradition of Lombardy, in the northcentral part of Italy.[1]
The shell typically consists of two sheets of pasta, about 4 cm (1.6 in) long, pressed together at the edges, like that of ravioli. Alternatively it is a disk folded in two and shaped like a sweet wrapper. Casoncelli in the style alla bergamasca are typically stuffed with a mixture of breadcrumbs, eggs, Parmesan cheese, ground beef, salami or sausage. Variants of filling include spinach, raisins, amaretto biscuits, pear, and garlic;[2] while the casoncelli alla bresciana are stuffed with a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic, parsley, nutmeg and broth.[3] They are typically served with burro e salvia: melted butter flavored with sage leaves.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
