Ingredients
Pasta and Fillings
Directions
1. Make the Pasta Dough
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the eggs. Gradually mix the flour into the eggs until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Set aside.
3. Cook the Meat Sauce
In a pan over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat. Add your choice of tomatoes, garlic, and herbs, and simmer for 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Roll the Pasta
After resting, divide the dough into four pieces. Roll each piece into thin sheets using a pasta machine or rolling pin.
5. Fill the Pasta
Cut the pasta sheets into squares. Place a small spoonful of the ricotta filling in the center of each square. Fold the pasta over to create triangles, pressing to seal.
6. Prepare Besciamella Sauce
In a saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Stir in 1/4 cup of flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in 3 cups of milk, cooking until thickened. Add salt and nutmeg to taste.
7. Assemble the Casserole
In a baking dish, spread a layer of meat sauce, followed by a layer of filled pasta. Pour Besciamella sauce over the top. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with Besciamella on top.
8. Bake
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the casserole for 30-35 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
