  • Preparation: 40 min
  • Cooking: 10 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (211 g)
  • Difficulty: Hard
  • Diets: High protein
  • Contains: beef, dairy, egg, gluten, nut, pork

Ingredients

  • 90 g Pasta, fresh egg
  • 40 g Beef, ground, 85% lean, raw
  • 8 g Breadcrumbs, dry
  • 5 g Almond flour
  • 2 g Sugar
  • 15 g Parmesan cheese
  • 15 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 20 g Bacon, raw
  • 15 g Butter, unsalted
  • 0.3 g Sage, dried
  • 0.5 g Salt
  • 0.2 g Black pepper

Method

  1. Mix the ground beef, breadcrumbs, almond flour and sugar (standing in for crushed amaretti biscuits), 5 g of the parmesan, egg, salt and pepper into a smooth filling.
  2. Cut the pasta sheet into small squares. Spoon a little filling onto each, fold into a triangle, then wrap around a finger and pinch the corners together into the classic casoncelli purse shape.
  3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the casoncelli for 4-5 minutes, until they float and the pasta is tender.
  4. Meanwhile melt the butter in a pan with the bacon and sage, and cook until the bacon is crisp and the butter smells nutty.
  5. Drain the casoncelli and toss them through the sage butter.
  6. Serve scattered with the remaining parmesan.
