Ingredients:
1 pack of fresh pasta sheets (preferably square or round)
200g ricotta cheese
100g salami (thinly sliced, then chopped)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley (finely chopped)
1 egg (for binding)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 clove garlic (optional, finely chopped)
Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the Filling:
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, chopped salami, grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. If you like a bit of extra flavor, finely chop a clove of garlic and add it to the mixture. Stir everything together until well incorporated. The mixture should be thick and creamy, but not too runny.
Prepare the Pasta Sheets:
Lay out the pasta sheets on a flat surface. If you’re using store-bought fresh pasta, ensure they’re not too dry. If you’re working with homemade dough, make sure it’s rolled out thin enough to form delicate bundles. You can cut the pasta sheets into squares or circles, depending on your preference.
