Chef's tip

Carinthia’s best-known dish is Kasnudel. The pasta dough is rolled flat, fashioned into fist-sized pockets and filled with a blend of various delicacies. The classical ”Kasnudel” contain curds and mint, but there are variants with other fillings – meat, or spinach, potatoes and mushrooms, or (in a sweet incarnation) prunes. Another type of Carinthian ”Nudel” is the ”Schlickkrapferl”, a smaller pastry pocket with a filling of offal and fresh herbs.
