Dough

Sage Butter Sauce

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs. Gradually mix the flour into the eggs until a dough begins to form.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  1. 3

    Sear the Veal

    In a heavy pot, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Season the veal shank with salt and pepper, and sear on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.

  2. 4

    Cook the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the diced carrot, celery, onion, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. 5

    Deglaze and Braise

    Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits. Return the veal to the pot, add beef stock, and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook on low heat for about 2-3 hours until the veal is tender.

  4. 6

    Shred the Filling

    Remove the veal from the pot, let it cool slightly, then shred the meat with forks. Mix with cooked vegetables, grated Parmesan, and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. 7

    Roll Out the Dough

    After resting, roll out the dough on a floured surface until thin. Use a pasta machine or rolling pin.

  2. 8

    Fill the Agnolotti

    Cut the rolled dough into squares. Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each square. Fold over and seal the edges tightly, using water to help seal if necessary.

  3. 9

    Cook the Agnolotti

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the agnolotti in batches for about 3-4 minutes until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon.

Sage Butter Sauce

  1. 10

    Make the Sage Butter

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until the butter is browned and the sage is crispy, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 11

    Serve

    Drizzle the sage butter over the cooked agnolotti and serve immediately.
