Homemade Agnolotti with a simple Butter Basil sauce.
Options
Agnolotti is a pasta that is made from leftover meats. I had some leftover chicken leg meat, so I figured I'd make my first attempt at agnolotti.
First put your meat through a meat grinder.
You can use it as your filler at this point, or add in other stuff. I added a bit of ricotta cheese to mine.
Take your ball of pasta dough that you made and place it on a lightly floured surface with your pasta machine ready to go. I rolled my pasta out on 1 (the thickest setting), 3, 5, then 7. Agnolotti is a thin pasta, so you want it a bit translucent.
Take your filling and scoop it onto the rolled out pasta dough.
Fold the dough over and pinch it closed. I also pinched between the filling to help close it before I cut them into individual pieces. You may need to hand pinch the ends closed like I did. Having a pasta cutting wheel would eliminate this need.
Throw the pasta into a pot of boiling water for approximately 3 minutes. On the right is a pan of melted butter with chopped fresh basil. This is our sauce.
After the three minutes is up, use a slotted spoon to remove the pasta from the boiling water and place it into the butter sauce. Toss the pasta lightly until well coated.
Place the pasta on a plate and use a spoon to drizzle some of the sauce over the pasta (less is more) and garnish with fresh basil and freshly grated parmesan!
Enjoy!!

If you are going to do it, make a LOT of it. I imagine they would freeze quite well.0 -
I feel like Someone just got a new pasta maker thingy. (2nd awesome pasta post I have seen from OP today)
All I can say is ::drool::0 -
Is there a ah...vegetarian alternative? Or should I just say screw it and opt out for some 100% whole wheat sweet potato gnocchi and call it a day?
Gnocchi's always good. :P0 -

Yes, stuff them with mushrooms or any cheese you wish. Agnolotti is traditionally just leftover meat, but you can use whatever you wish. Sauteed spinach or mushrooms would be excellent.0 -
This looks really yummy... but i have to admit that I thought at first when you said that "agnolotti" was a "pasta made from leftover meat"... that you had found a way to make a truly carbless pasta that was also super high in protein. It took me a few minutes to realize that the leftover meat was the filler, LOL. I guess I am just *that* tired tonight :P
So for a minute I was imagining smushed meat being forced through a pasta machine :P0 -
Sounds delicious!0

Looks and sounds really, really good. Great job!0

Hmm...this may be the perfect use of the leftover sausage in my fridge and the basil in the garden.0
