  • 1 c. fresh sheep"s lowfat milk ricotta
  • 1 x egg
  • 4 x amaretti cookies crushed
  • 1/4 c. grated Parmigiano-Reggiano plus more for grating over pasta
  • 1 pch salt plus more to taste
  • 1 x recipe Basic Fresh Egg Pasta dough (see recipe)
  • 12 Tbsp. butter Freshly-grnd black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Core the apples, maintaining the peel, and place on a sheet pan. Roast in the oven 20 min, till soft and juicy. Remove and allow to cold. Squeeze flesh from peel and throw away peel.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the apple flesh with the ricotta, egg, amaretti, 1/4 c. cheese and salt and mix well to combine.
  4. Roll out the pasta to the thinnest setting on a pasta rolling machine, then cut into 2-inch squares. In center of half of the squares, place a scant Tbsp. full of the apple and cheese mix. Moisten the edges of these squares with water, then top each square with an un-filled square, and press with your fingers to seal the edges.
  5. Bring 6 qts of water to a boil and add in 2 Tbsp. salt.
  6. In a 12-to 14-inch saute/fry pan, heat the butter till it foams and subsides.
  7. Meanwhile, drop the pasta in the boiling water and cook 3 min. Drain the pasta, reserving the cooking liquid, and add in the pasta to the pan with the butter. Add in a splash of the pasta water if necessary to keep the sauce from becoming too "tight." Toss over high heat 1 minute to coat.
  8. Divide pasta proportionately among 6 warmed pasta bowls, top with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, and serve immediately.
  9. This recipe yields 6 servings.
