Agnolotti with spinach and braised meat recipe – Agnolotti di spinaci e brasato

PREPARATION: 60 mins
DIFFICULTY: medium

INGREDIENTS:

500 g flour
6 eggs
400 g braised meat
250 g spinach
150 g cooked ham
2 egg yolks
50 g parmesan cheese
butter or roast sauce
salt
black pepper

DIRECTIONS:

Mix the flour with 5 eggs until you have a homogeneous mixture and let it rest covered for 30 minutes.

Blend the braised meat, blanch the spinach, chop it and add it to the meat. Mix everything together with the egg yolks, the remaining egg, the grated Parmesan cheese, the chopped ham, salt and ground pepper. If the mixture is too dry, soften it with a few tablespoons of the braising sauce.

Roll out the dough into strips. Spread the filling in small piles on one strip, overlapping another and pressing with your fingers around the filling. Using a serrated cutter, cut out the agnolotti squares. Boil them in boiling salted water for 10-12 minutes.

Drain with a slotted spoon, transfer to a warmed serving dish and dress with grated Parmesan cheese and roast sauce or butter melted in a bain-marie.
