Ingredients:
1 pack of fresh pasta sheets (square or round)
200g ricotta cheese
100g salami (thinly sliced and finely chopped)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
1 egg (for binding)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 garlic clove (optional, finely minced)
Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the Filling:
In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, chopped salami, parsley, grated Parmesan, and a pinch of salt and pepper. If you like a little extra flavor, add the minced garlic as well. Stir the mixture until it’s smooth and evenly blended. The filling should be creamy and thick, but not too runny.
Prepare the Pasta Sheets:
Lay the pasta sheets flat on a clean surface. If you’re using store-bought pasta, make sure it’s fresh and pliable. If you’re making your own dough, roll it out thin enough to create delicate, soft bundles. You can cut the sheets into squares or circles, depending on your preference.
