The Ligurian Stuffed

Ligurian women in the cuisine for centuries fill whatever; pasta, meat and all the vegetables except the peas.
The filling ranged and range from house to house, from day to day, season to season, depending on the contents of the pantry before and the fridge then, due both to the filling of the purse.
If, for example, in a family of four the mother discovered that she a day can afford to buy just – you know – a bit of onions or zucchini, here chopping and mixing what they had at home (eggs, leftovers meat, bread, cheese, herbs, etc.), onions and zucchini became a rich dish.

They are also comfortable and practical: can be prepared the day before and are good both hot and cold.
