Cappelletti

Bolognese Sauce

Tajarin with White Truffles

Method

Cappelletti

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add eggs. Mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, then wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In another bowl, mix ricotta, Parmesan, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Shape the Cappelletti

    Roll out the dough thinly and cut into squares. Place a small amount of filling in the center of each square, fold into triangles, and pinch the edges to seal. Bring the two corners together and pinch to form a cappelletti shape.

  4. 4

    Cook the Cappelletti

    Bring a pot of salted water to boil. Cook cappelletti for about 3-4 minutes until they float. Drain and set aside.

Bolognese Sauce

  1. 5

    Cook the Meat

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add pancetta and cook until crispy. Then add onion, carrot, celery, and garlic, cooking until softened.

  2. 6

    Add Beef and Wine

    Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned. Stir in tomato paste, then deglaze the pan with red wine, scraping up any browned bits.

  3. 7

    Finish the Sauce

    Add crushed tomatoes, salt, pepper, bay leaf, and milk. Simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

Tajarin

  1. 8

    Make the Tajarin Dough

    In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Create a well in the center, add eggs, and mix until a dough forms. Knead for about 10 minutes, then wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.

  2. 9

    Roll and Cut the Pasta

    Roll out the dough thinly and cut into long, thin strips (tagliatelle style).

  3. 10

    Cook the Tajarin

    In a separate pot, boil salted water. Cook the tajarin for 2-3 minutes until al dente. Drain and toss with butter.

  4. 11

    Serve with Truffles

    Plate the tajarin, top with shaved white truffles and grated Parmesan.
