Pasta Dough

Sauce

Method

Pasta Dough

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs and olive oil. Using a fork, whisk together the eggs and gradually incorporate the flour until a rough dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Filling

  1. 3

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and mash the potatoes in a bowl.

  2. 4

    Mix the Filling

    Add the cheese, melted butter, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix until well combined and smooth.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. 5

    Roll Out the Dough

    After resting, roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into squares or circles, depending on your preferred shape for the pasta.

  2. 6

    Fill the Pasta

    Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each dough piece. Fold over and seal the edges tightly, ensuring there are no air pockets.

  3. 7

    Cook the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the filled pasta for 3-4 minutes until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon.

Sauce

  1. 8

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until the butter is golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

  2. 9

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to coat in the sauce. Add Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to taste. Serve hot.
