INGREDIENTS
Filling:
1 1/4 cups
ricotta. Regular full-fat ricotta has a slightly richer taste and more substantial texture than skim milk ricotta and therefore is preferable to use.
1 cup
grated parmigiano-reggiano. You can grate either by hand or in the food processor.
1/3 cup
finely-chopped parsley (flat-leaf)
1
egg yolk
Generous pinch of salt and several grinds of fresh pepper.
Egg Wash:
2
egg whites with 2 tablespoons water, combined well with a fork to fully emulsify
Pasta:
Buy 4 large sheets of pasta dough -- each sheet being about 20-inches by 9-inches.
Alternatively, make your own pasta dough.
Pasta Dough:
2 cups
all purpose flour
3
large eggs
1 tsp
water
1 tsp
olive oil
1 tsp
salt (use a finer-grain salt, not coarse sea salt)
