Have you ever tried "canederli"? In German they are also called Knödel... They are the typical dish of the area called TIROLO in North of Italy. The Tyrol is an alpine region divided between the Austrian State of Tyrol and the Italian region of Trentino-Alto-Adige/Sudtirol.
There are two different kinds of canederli: "salted" canederli, usually served in broth, and "sweet" canederli. Here I have made the salted canederli, I actually chose the most famous and typical canederli known in Italy... canderli with speck. This is a winter dish, typical from the Alps, it is quite rich and really good. It is perfect in one of those cold and rainy days, when you want a warm broth and "something good" with it.
The main ingredient for these canederli is the SPECK, which is a salt-curing ham, slightly smoked, originally from Tyrol. It is delicious!

Your canederli look perfect. Last year we hosted a party and everybody brought a dish from the Alto-Adige. I helped one of my friends make canederli with speck and they turned out great and looked exactly like yours down to the chives.

Non mi sono mai decisa a fare i canederli, forse perchè non avevo una ricetta rassicurante :)
una domanda: 6 pezzi a quante porzioni "normali" equivalgono?

I had Canederli in Austria years ago and I could not remember the name until I saw your post. I'm so glad I came across it.
The picture looks wonderful.
Linda, they canederli are so good, aren't they? Thanks alot for your comment.
Jessika & Jonas, tack så mycket! Jag ska gå in och kolla er blogg.
Wenny, devi provare, sono facili e veramente buoni. Io li ho fatti abbastanza grossi, quindi 2 pezzi a persona bastavano.
Pia, thanks a lot for your comment!
Ciao.

Hello!
Nice blog you have. I am a Swedish teacher and I have been to Novara several times and have a lot of friends there. It is a very nice town.

Mangiano con... niente? O con gulasch? Ricorda un po di palt! :-)
(ursäkta att jag övar min dåliga italienska här. ;-))
this little danty canaderli with green speckles on really looks cute, I bet it must be very delicious!
Ciao Karo. I canederli si mangiano in brodo di carne e sono un primo piatto (--> canederli äter man med kött buljong och det är en första rätt).
Gattina, thanks. Canederli are really delicious... you have to try them if you happen to go to the Tyrol in North of Italy.
Ciao.
