FacebookTwitterPinterestShare

Ingredients

For fresh pasta:

  • 3 cups of unbleached flour
  • 1 egg
  • 2/3 cup of pumpkin puree
  • 1 tablespoon of EVO oil

For the filling:

  • 3 medium potatoes
  • 30 prawns
  • 2 cups of grated aged Pecorino Toscano PDO
  • The juice of half a lemon
  • EVO oil
  • Herbs to taste (basil, rosemary, thyme, marjoram, parsley…)
  • Salt


Preparation

Fresh pasta

Sift the flour on a clean work surface and make a hole in its centre. Beat the egg with a fork, then pour it in the middle of the flour hole with the pumpkin puree and a drizzle of EVO oil. Stir in the flour a little at a time until you can make a ball of dough. Cover it and let it rest for an hour.

Filling

Boil the potatoes until theyā€™re nice and soft, then mash them. Cook the cleaned shrimps in a pan with EVO oil, a little water, the juice of half a lemon, and herbs. Chop the shrimps and mix with the mashed potatoes. Add the aged Pecorino Toscano PDO and salt (if necessary).

TortelliĀ 

Roll out the dough until it’s 1 mm thick. Make squares of 1 inch per side. Put the filling on the centre of each square. Close the pasta squares in a way that makes them look like “braids”. Cook the tortelli in salted boiling water for 5-6 minutes. Drizzle some EVO oil and herbs to taste over them, then serve.

Ingredients

  • Ā¾ pound (330 grams) Avesani taglioliniĀ pasta,
  • Ā½ pound (200 grams) sausage,
  • 1 2/3 cup (160 grams) grated PecorinoĀ Toscano PDO,
  • a teaspoon of curry,
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

To prepare the pasta in a sausage cheese sauce, begin boiling water to cook the pasta because the rest of the process is really quick. Then add Ā½ teaspoon salt to the boiling water and cook the pasta.

Take a cup of cooking water and set aside. Begin melting the cheese in a pan. Add a bit of the cooking water to loosen the cheese and stir until you have a smooth cream. Now add the teaspoon of curry and mix well. Break the sausage into pieces with a fork. Let it cook without added fat, until it is crisp and slightly golden in a separate pan.

When the pasta has cooked, drain and pour directly into the pan with the sausage and pour over the sauce and mix everything well. Turn off the burner for the pasta. If the sauce is too dry, add a little water to liquefy it. Serve the pasta on plates and season with a nice helping of pepper. Your pasta in a sausage cheese sauce is ready to be enjoyed!!

Risotto with Pecorino Toscano PDO, pigeon liver and pigeon liver sauce



FacebookTwitterPinterestShare

Ingredients for 6:

  • 2 pigeons totaling about Ā½ pound (300 g),
  • 1 cup (150 g) raisins,
  • 1 cup (150 )g breme red onion,
  • 500 g (1 pound) 100% Reserve St. MaximusĀ white Carnaroli rice,
  • 2 cups (250 g) aged Pecorino Toscano PDOĀ cheese,Ā including the crust (which is for the broth),
  • 1/3 cup (75 g) butter,
  • extra virgin olive oil to taste,
  • salt.


Instructions

Heat a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a pan, preferably Tuscan olive oil. Add the thinly sliced Breme red onion. Fry the onion until golden brown. Add the pigeons, cleaned, washed and singed. Cook the pigeons so that they brown on all sides. Cook the livers together, leaving them separated from the pigeon. Add a glass of raisins, salt and cook with the lid on, stirring pigeons several times, for about thirty minutes. Now itā€™s time to make the broth for the rice, heat the cold water with the Pecorino Toscano PDO crusts. Add the salt.

Boil 20 minutes and then simmer while you prepare the risotto. Heat the pan on low heat, when it is hot, add the rice, without any seasoning and let it toast for a few minutes, turning the pan to toast the rice until hands it feels hot. Add the cheese stock a little at a time, stirring constantly so that the rice does not stick to the pan.

Continue stirring and add the broth until itā€™s completely absorbed, about 17 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the cheese cut in julienne strips and diced up into very small cubes and then add the butter, stirring constantly.

While the risotto is cooking, chop up the pigeon livers and puree them in the blender with a tablespoon of the cooking liquid and olive oil, until you get a smooth sauce. Slice the pigeon breast. Prepare the dish with one cup rice, top with the slices of pigeon breast and drizzle with some liver sauce.

Ravioli filled with Pecorino Toscano PDO cream, olive and lemon rabbit-flavored sauce



FacebookTwitterPinterestShare

Ingredients for about 45 ravioli

For the pastry:

  • 2 cups (200 g flour),
  • 2 eggs

For the cream cheese:

  • Ā¾ cup (200 g) of cream,
  • 1 Ā¾ cup (180 g)Ā Pecorino Toscano PDO

For the broth:

  • Ā½ vegetable bouillon cube,
  • or if you cleanĀ the rabbit,
  • the carcass,
  • half a carrot,
  • half anĀ onion,
  • half a stalk of celery

Per il ragĆ¹:

  • Ā½ pound (200 g) chopped rabbit,
  • half aĀ carrot,
  • half an onion,
  • half a stalk of celery,
  • Italian olive oil,
  • bay leaf,
  • rosemary,
  • salt andĀ pepper,
  • dry white wine,
  • tomato paste to taste,
  • powdered dried black olives,
  • a lemon.


Instructions

Chop the meat. Make a rabbit broth with the rabbit bones, half a carrot, half an onion and half a stalk of celery cut into large pieces all together. Take half a bouillon cube and put in Ā¾ cup (200 ml) of water. While the stock is cooking, chop up the vegetables into small cubes for the sauce and cook with a little oil in a pot over low heat.

Once the vegetables have softened, add the rabbit pieces. Add white wine (for that amount, 1/3 cup (100 ml) will be enough) and add the tomato paste, a couple of bay leaves and a sprig of rosemary. Bake for one hour, covered, on very low heat, adding broth if necessary. Meanwhile. mix the eggs with the flour and then knead the dough until it is firm and smooth.

Remember to set aside some of the flour in the recipe; depending on the size of eggs, you might have some flour leftover. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and move on to the cream cheese. Heat the cream in a small pan without letting it boil. Turn off the heat and add the grated cheese. Puree in the blender until creamy, and when it cools, all of the flavors should meld together. We pull out of the cabinet we must give ourselves the laminating machine or rolling pin and cutting board to prepare the ravioli.

I, of course, I used the Grandma Duck: pull the dough until the second-to-last notch (almost closer) and knead it twice more. Makes squares about 1 1/3 inch (3.5 cm) per side and place a teaspoon of hazelnut cream cheese in the center of each square. Close the ravioli so you get a triangle and mold the edges with a toothed wheel.

Once youā€™ve finished making the ravioli, cook them in hot water (Pay attention! Reduce the heat once the water is boiling or you risk to open your ravioli!), After a minute or two that have come to the surface, put them in a pan with the meat sauce, drizzle with oil, and cook all together for a minute or two. Put some dumplings on a plate and add a little dried black olive powder and some grated organic lemon zest. Itā€™s ready to serve!
