Cooking Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and sauté until they are soft and any liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add the ground pork, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the pork is browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Stir in the smoked ricotta cheese until well combined.
2. Assemble the Balanzoni
Lay out the fresh pasta sheets on a clean surface. Place a generous spoonful of the pork and mushroom filling in the center of each pasta sheet. Moisten the edges with a little water, then fold the pasta over to create a pocket, sealing the edges tightly to prevent the filling from leaking.
3. Cook the Balanzoni
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the filled Balanzoni into the boiling water and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are tender.
4. Prepare the Espresso Sauce
In a small saucepan, heat the brewed espresso over low heat. Add grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked Balanzoni to a serving plate. Drizzle the espresso sauce over the top and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
