INGREDIENTS
Filling
6 cups water
2 tsp salt
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp crushed chiles
1 ¾ cups yellow cornmeal
3 Tbsp unsalted butter
½ cup ricotta
Pasta
4 extra large eggs + egg wash
½ tsp olive oil
3 ½ cups all purpose flour
semolina, for dusting
Roasted Corn Salsa
2 large ears corn
1/4 red onion, diced
2 tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
1 clove garlic, minced
salt and pepper, to taste
juice and zest of 1 lime
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
METHOD
Filling
in cornmeal gradually. Reduce heat
to low and cook until thickened,
stirring often, about 15 minutes.
2. Remove from heat. Stir in butter.
Fold in ricotta. Let cool.
Pasta
1. In a small bowl, beat together
eggs and olive oil to break yolks.
2. In a stand mixer fitted with a
dough hook, mix flour on medium
speed. Slowly pour in the egg/oil
mixture and mix until the dough has
formed into a ball. Mix for 5 more
minutes. Remove dough and let rest,
in plastic wrap, for 1 hour.
3. Run dough through a pasta maker
on the thickest setting. Repeat,
decreasing setting size, until dough
is about 2 mm thick.
4. Lay dough on a floured surface
and cut into rectangular sheets 12
inches long. Sprinkle with flour.
5. Place filling in a pastry bag with
a ½ inch tip. Pipe a line of filling
along the first pasta sheet.
6. Using a pastry brush, apply an
egg wash along the edge of the
sheet. Fold in half, pressing edge
firmly to seal. Cut excess dough
away from the filled tube of pasta.
7. Pinch tube into equal sections,
creating a seal between pockets of
filling. Cut the sections apart.
8. Place agnolotti on a tray of
semolina. Repeat.
9. Boil a pot of salted water and add
pasta. Cook until tender, 2 min.
Corn Salsa
1. Grill corn (with husk on) until
charred. Remove husk and silk and
return to grill to colour, 3-5 min.
2. Sliced grilled corn kernels off cob
and mix with remaining ingredients.
