Pasta Dough

Method

Make the Pasta Dough

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and eggs. Mix until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Prepare the Filling

  1. 3

    Mix Filling Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix together the ricotta, pecorino romano, black pepper, and salt until well combined.

Assemble the Agnolotti

  1. 4

    Roll Out the Dough

    After resting, divide the dough into four pieces. Roll each piece out into a thin sheet using a pasta machine or a rolling pin.

  2. 5

    Fill and Shape

    Place small mounds of filling (about 1 tsp) on one half of the pasta sheet. Fold the other half over and press to seal, cutting out individual agnolotti shapes.

Cook the Agnolotti

  1. 6

    Boil Water

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the agnolotti for about 3-4 minutes until they float to the surface.

Prepare the Sauce

  1. 7

    Make the Cacio e Pepe Sauce

    In a pan, combine the cooked agnolotti, reserved pasta water, pecorino romano, and black pepper. Toss until the cheese melts and forms a creamy sauce.
