Scacce are a typical street food of the region of Ragusa. They are rustic in shape and have a variety of fillings. They resemble lasagna with their layers of thin pastry in between delicious savoury ingredients.
They’re officially called sweet ravioli of ricotta or in Italian cassatelle. I come from the Ragusa region and we call these cassateddi. My friends from the Messina and Catania region call them Sciauni.
This simple dessert is one that I’ve always loved. Simple yet so so many different names and variations to it. our Calabrese neighbours even make them savoury! Sfingi in Sicily, Zeppole in Calabria, fritelle in Lombardia, Le Crispelle’ in Abruzzo and in Sardegna they’re called Frisciolas.
