Pasta Dough

Method

Pasta Dough

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs. Gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic and let rest for 30 minutes.

Filling

  1. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, sauté the foraged mushrooms over medium heat until browned and tender. Stir in the chopped black walnuts and mustard greens, cooking until greens are wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool, then mix in the grated Grana Padano.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Assemble the Cappelletti

    Roll out the pasta dough into thin sheets. Cut into squares (about 3 inches). Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each square. Fold the squares into triangles, sealing the edges. Bring the two points of the triangle together to form the cappelletti shape. Repeat until all dough and filling are used.

Brown Butter Emulsion

  1. 4

    Make the Brown Butter Emulsion

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Slowly whisk in the vegetable stock until emulsified. Keep warm.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Cook the Cappelletti

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cappelletti and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they float. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to the brown butter emulsion. Toss gently to coat.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve

    Plate the cappelletti, drizzle with remaining brown butter emulsion, and sprinkle with additional grated Grana Padano before serving.
