Andrea & Eugenia’s Christmas Agnolotti

Agnolotti is the name given to ravioli filled with long braised meat, grana cheese and breadcrumbs in Lombardia and Piemonte. The Pasta Grannies team visited Bastida Pancarana, near Pavia to meet Pasta Grandpa Andrea. Andrea and his Apulian wife Eugenia prepare these agnolotti only once a year for Christmas. They working on the old wooden marna that belonged to his grandmother. But don't worry, if you don't have all the historical equipment, a big chopping board will do just fine.

Cook

6h 6m

Ingredients

Method

Turn cooking mode on

Prepare the filling:

1.

Brown the mixed meats for 10 minutes.

1.5 kg Mixed meat, composed of pork shoulder, beef chuck (stewing steak), a piece of fat

2.

Add seasonings, fats, and some Bonarda. Let it stew for 5–6 hours total (Andrea says 2–3 hours was the older childhood method; now he cooks it for longer, so I’d suggest doing this one a full 24 hours before). Replenish with Bonarda when needed.

La Saporita seasoning

Bay leaves

Oil

Butter

Bonarda wine

3.

Once cooked, mince the meat using a meat grinder or mezzaluna.

4.

Separate the meat and sauce for dressing the pasta. Then get ready to fill your pasta with the filling.

Minced braised meat

Braising sauce

Prepare your pasta:

1.

Make the flour by mixing together the ingredients and rolling it out.

1 kg Type 0 flour

8 Eggs

Water

Salt

2.

Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into flat sheets and thread it through a pasta maker.

3.

Roll your filling into small balls and place the small balls an even distance apart on a thin sheet (sort of like when you’re preparing to wrap a Christmas present) and make sure there is enough dough to cover the ball from the other side.

4.

Use a cutter or a knife to create individual pieces, making sure to pinch the edges so they are secured. Place on a well-floured tray before serving.
