Press with the fingers to join the edges - press well, or the filling comes out when you boil them. To a large pot of boiling water add salt to taste and the casunziei, When they come to the surface cook for 3-4 minutes. With a skimmer transfer the casunziei to a serving dish, add the seasoning. Melt the butter and when very hot pour it onto the casunziei.
