Preparation

1. Cut the stale bread and soften it with a little milk
2. Meanwhile, in a pan, stew the onion with a little butter
3. Once the bread is soft, add the onion, chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese. If the dough is too wet, add some grated bread.
4. Form small balls by inserting small pieces of Monte Veronese DOP cheese in the center to obtain a stringy heart
5. Cook in boiling salted water
