Quick cooking notes

  • Core ingredients include butter, ricotta cheese, black pepper, egg.
  • Follow all 8 steps in order for the intended texture and doneness.
  • Ingredient quantities listed below are for 4 servings.

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 cups ricotta cheese
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 cups fresh mint leaves (chopped)
  • 0.5 cups water
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, water, and salt to form a smooth dough. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it is elastic.
  2. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  3. In another bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, chopped mint leaves, black pepper, and the egg until well combined.
  4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick and cut into circles using a cookie cutter or a glass.
  5. Place a spoonful of the cheese and mint filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and press the edges to seal.
  6. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
  7. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
  8. Once the dumplings are cooked, remove them from the water and serve them drizzled with melted butter.
