Shaping Fagottini

Servings: 3 dozen
Author: Shawn

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces pasta dough, ready to roll (see note)
  • 1 cup pasta filling, such as corn and walnut (see note)

Instructions

  • Cut a golf ball-sized piece of dough, and roll it into a sheet with a thickness of about 1/16th of an inch.
  • Place the sheet on a cutting board, and, using a fluted cutter, cut into squares about 2 inches on a side. Scraps can be mixed in with the next piece of dough and re-rolled.
  • Pipe, or spoon, about a teaspoon of filling into the center of each square.
  • Dip your finger in a small bowl of water and moisten the edges of the pasta square.
  • Fold the pasta along each of the long edges, turning the corners up so they meet directly above the filling (like a four-sided pyramid), and seal shut.
  • Place fagottini on a baking sheet, while you work on the next.
  • When the sheet is full, place it in the freezer for about 1 hour, then transfer pasta to plastic bags and seal.
  • To cook, bring a large kettle of water to a boil, drop in frozen pasta, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook the pasta until done, about 6-12 minutes, depending on the thickness.

Notes

Our Basic Pasta Dough recipe makes 8 ounces.
When we made these, we used Corn and Walnut filling.
