Ingredients for about 3 people

For the pasta

250 g Mix for Fresh Pasta Mulino Marello

4 medium eggs

2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

For the filling

250 g packaged ricotta

5 generous tablespoons of grana padano or other grated cheese

Nutmeg to taste

Procedure

Place the flour in a bowl. Add the eggs and start mixing them into the flour with the help of a fork. Add 2 generous tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and knead with your hands, first in the bowl and then on the floured pastry board. You will obtain a soft, workable and elastic dough. Dust the pastry board with rice flour and roll out the dough with a floured rolling pin. As you roll, dust with rice flour.

Cut the shape of the pasta you wish to obtain. I prepared a filling by mixing the ricotta with the grated cheese and a little nutmeg in a bowl. With a teaspoon I dosed the mixture every 4 centimeters, I wet the outline of each pile of filling and I placed another layer of rolled dough. I sealed to let out excess air and carved the heart shapes with a special pasta mold.

I boiled plenty of salted water in a large pot. I tossed the pasta with a little oil and cooked for about 7, 8 minutes. The time should be adjusted based on the size of the pasta you have made.

Once the pasta is cooked, drain and season to your liking.
