Ingredients
Dough
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup flour plus more if needed (dough should be soft and elastic)
Filling
- 2 eggs beaten
- 12 ounces grated Romano (¾ pound )
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 egg plus 1 tablespoon water for egg wash
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat, or spray with a non-stick baking spray.
- 2. Prepare the dough as you would a typical pasta dough, with a mound of flour with a well in the center. Into the middle break the eggs, add the water and oil, and mix together with a fork until combined and then begin incorporating the flour a little at a time. Once the dough comes together as a shaggy mass, knead it by hand until you have a soft, smooth, elastic dough. Add more flour or water, a small bit at a time, until that consistency is reached. Cover and set aside.
- 3. To make the filling, combine the eggs with the Romano cheese and black pepper in a medium bowl and stir until thoroughly combined.
- 4. Roll out the pasta dough to about 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch thickness. Place 1 tablespoon of the filling two inches apart across half of the rolled-out dough. When finished, fold the unused half the dough over the filling. Press around each mound of filling to release air and cut into squares with a knife or pasta roller. If using a knife, seal the edges with a fork. Place pigu on the baking sheet.
- 5. With a fork, beat together the egg and water and brush the tops of the pigu with the egg wash.
- 6. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
