First course
Ingredienti
Dosi per 4 persone:
- 300 g farina (mista farina tipo 0 e farina di grano saraceno)
- 4 uova
- 1 mela Golden Delicious
- 4 fette di speck
- 250 g di ricotta vaccina
- sale c.b.
- pape c.b.
- aromi (basilico, maggiorana, timo)
- pangrattato c.b.
For the egg pasta:
mix 300 g of flour (buckwheat mixed with type 0 flour) with 3 eggs, add a pinch of salt and make the dough homogeneous. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin into a very thin sheet.
For the stuffing:
peel and cut the Golden Delicious apple into small cubes, cook it in a non-stick pan with very little water in order to soften the fruit. In a large bowl, pour the cow's milk ricotta, incorporate an egg, salt, pepper, herbs to taste such as basil, thyme or marjoram, the cooked apple, the thinly sliced specimen and breadcrumbs until the mixture is soft.
Assembly and cooking:
make circular shapes from the pastry, place a teaspoon of filling in the center, moisten the edges of the dough and close in a crescent shape. Repeat this step for all the molds. In the meantime, place a saucepan with plenty of water on the stove, bring it to a boil, add salt and pour the crescents which should cook for a few minutes. Season with melted butter.
