Instructions
Make the broth
- Add all the ingredients except salt for the broth in a large pot and let it simmer on low heat for 3 hours or until it reduces to about 8 cups of broth.
- Strain the broth and season with salt to taste.
Mix the fresh pasta dough
- Whisk together flour, salt, olive oil, and eggs on low speed in a stand mixer.
- Once the mixture is crumbly, attach the dough hook and knead the dough until smooth.
- Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.
Create the agnolotti dal plin filling
- In a large pan, add one tablespoon of olive oil and heat it on medium heat.
- Add pork, Italian sausage, and pancetta to the pan and cook until lightly browned.
- Remove the meat and set it aside to cool.
- In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of oil, plus the onions and garlic.
- Sauté them for a minute until translucent.
- Deglaze the pan with red wine and reduce it to make a thickened sauce.
- Set aside to cool.
- Once the meat and the red wine glaze are cooled, process them in a food processor along with egg, parmesan, nutmeg, oregano, and thyme. Make it into a smooth paste.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the filling to a piping bag and let it refrigerate until you’re ready to assemble the pasta.
Assemble your agnolotti pasta
- Divide your pasta into four equal pieces.
- Roll out each piece of dough into a thin sheet with a rolling pin or pasta machine.
- Pipe about one teaspoon of the filling in the middle of the sheet, spacing them 3 inches apart.
- Turn the pasta sheet on itself and start to seal the filling.
- Cut out individual agnolotti and crimp the edges.
- Repeat the last three steps until you’re out of pasta dough and filling.
- Heat the prepared broth until it comes to a simmer.
- Cook the agnolotti in the broth until it floats.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can use canned, low-sodium chicken broth and mix in the seasonings if you don’t have time to make broth from scratch.
