Ingredients
- Pasta Base
4 large eggs at room temperature
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
pinch salt
1 cup all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting
- Filling
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- Sauce
1/4 cup unsalted butter
2 sprigs fresh sage
lemon zest
- Garnish
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
- Pasta Preparation – Combine eggs, olive oil, salt, and optional black pepper in a food processor; pulse to mix. Gradually add flour until the dough forms a ball. Rest the dough for 10 minutes.
- Rolling & Shaping – Divide the dough into quarters. Using a pasta machine or rolling pin, roll out to thin sheets; dust with flour as needed.
- Filling & Cooking – Place dollops of ricotta on the pasta sheets; fold and seal. Cut into desired shapes and boil until they float (about 2 minutes).
- Sauce Creation – In a pan, melt butter with sage until browned; add pasta water to thicken. Season with salt and pepper; garnish with lemon zest.
- Alternative Ingredients
- Whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour for a healthier option.
- Use goat cheese instead of ricotta for a tangier filling.
- Olive oil can be substituted with avocado oil for a different flavor profile.
