Ingredients
400 g wheat flour
2 eggs
1 glass liquid ingredient (typically white wine or water)
Water as needed
Pinch of salt
500 g preboggion (mixed Ligurian greens)
250 g prescinseua or ricotta cheese
40 g Parmigiano Reggiano, grated
1 egg
Fresh marjoram, a few sprigs
Nutmeg, to taste
Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Place the flour on a work surface and form a well. Add eggs, salt, and the liquid ingredient. Begin mixing with a fork, gradually incorporating the flour.
- Knead by hand until smooth and uniform, adding water if needed. Form into a ball, cover, and rest for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the filling: boil the herbs in salted water, drain thoroughly, and squeeze out all moisture. Chop finely.
- Combine herbs with prescinseua or ricotta, Parmigiano, egg, marjoram, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well.
- Roll out the dough very thin using a rolling pin or pasta machine. Cut into 6 cm squares.
- Add a small amount of filling to each square. Fold into triangles, pressing out air and sealing edges. Optionally fold corners inward.
- Arrange pansotti on floured trays; refrigerate up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
- Bring salted water to a boil. Cook pansotti for 2–3 minutes until they float.
- Drain gently and toss with walnut sauce, adding pasta water as needed. Serve hot with Parmigiano Reggiano.
Notes
If dough cracks, add a little water and knead until smooth.
Filling can be made the night before to enhance flavor.
Ensure herbs are well squeezed to avoid a wet filling.
Pansotti freeze well before cooking; cook from frozen.
Experiment with herb blends or add mascarpone for richness.
