Piedmont / Stuffed Pasta

Agnolotti del Plin

Tiny pinched pasta parcels filled with roast meat and greens, served with butter, sage, or the cooking juices of a roast.

180 minutes Hard Serves 6 pinched parcels

Method

  1. Mince roast meat and greens very finely.
  2. Bind with Parmigiano, yolk, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pipe small dots of filling along a pasta sheet.
  4. Fold the sheet over, press out air, and pinch between each mound.
  5. Cut into small parcels and cook in simmering salted water.
  6. Dress with butter and sage or roast juices.
Cook's note: The filling should be savory and fairly dry; wet filling makes sealing difficult.

Why this dish belongs to Piedmont

Plin means pinch. The pasta turns leftovers from a festive roast into a second celebration.
