Maultaschen (filled pasta cases, literally: "pockets on the mouth") - cooked dumplings in meat broth and served either directly in the broth or fried with the addition of roasted onion. The dumplings are stuffed with spinach and onion, minced meat or ham sausage. Legend has it that the monks prepared the dish for the first time in order to hide the meat in dumplings during Lent.
