Ingredients
Dough
- 400 grams flour all purpose
- 100 gr durum wheat semolina
- 2 egg
Filling
- 125 g bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- 70 g Grana Padano cheese or Parmigiano Reggiano, grated
- 250 g beef minced
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 parsley sprig
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Sauce
- 100 g pancetta diced
- 50 g butter
- 2 tablespoons Grana Padano cheese or Parmigiano Reggiano, grated
- 2 sage leaves
Instructions
For the pasta dough
- Arrange the flour on a pastry board, form a well in the center, add the eggs, a pinch of salt and a little water to mix the dough. Knead and mix thoroughly for at least 10 minutes.
- When the dough is compact and smooth, wrap the ball of pasta dough in plastic wrap and let rest for half an hour.
For the filling
- Peel and mince the garlic. In a pan, brown the garlic in a little extra virgin olive oil and add the minced meat at low heat.
- When cooked, transfer everything to a bowl and add the breadcrumbs, eggs, grated cheese, then season with salt and pepper.
Making casoncelli
- Roll out the pasta dough into a thin sheet with a pasta machine, starting from the widest setting and roll until the dough is a thin layer. With a pastry bowl cut into discs of about 7 cm (3 in aprox).
- In the center of each of them, place a scoop of filling and close them carefully from the edges by pinching them between your fingers.
Cooking
- Bring water to a boil in a large pot, then add salt.
- In a medium saucepan melt the butter, sage and diced pancetta and cook over medium heat for 4 minutes.
- Cook the casoncelli in boiling water for 3-4 minutes. When they start to float in the boiling water, that means they are ready.
- Carefully drain the stuffed pasta with a colander or remove them from the water with a small strainer.
- Toss the casoncelli in a big serving bowl, pour in the melted butter flavored with sage leaves and diced bacon and mix carefully.
- Serve hot garnished with a sprinkling of grated Grana Padano cheese.
