Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 3 large (150g) eggs
- 1/2 tsp (3g) fine sea salt
- 1 tbsp (15ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lb (450g) lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup (60g) yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves (6g) garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup (115g) whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg (50g), lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup (15g) fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 tsp (1g) ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp (5g) salt
- 1/2 tsp (2g) black pepper
- 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil
Instructions:
- Pour flour onto a clean surface and create a wide well in the center.
- Crack eggs into the well and add salt and olive oil. Using a fork, gently whisk the eggs, gradually incorporating flour from the inner walls.
- Knead the dough by hand for 8-10 minutes until the texture is smooth, elastic, and bounces back when poked.
- Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until fully browned.
- Stir in the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until softened.
- Remove from heat and allow the meat to cool completely. Mix in ricotta, Parmesan, beaten egg, parsley, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.
- Roll the rested dough into thin sheets using a rolling pin or pasta machine.
- Place small mounds of filling on the dough, cover with a second sheet of pasta, and seal the edges with water or egg wash.
- Cut into squares and boil in a large pot of salted water for approximately 5 minutes or until they float.
