Pink and Black Pepper Tortellini with Pumpkin, Corn, Chorizo, and Chimichurri, in Locro Bone Broth

Pink and Black Pepper Tortellini with Pumpkin, Corn, Chorizo, and Chimichurri, in Locro Bone Broth

After a lengthy cookbook-related creative hiatus, I’m so excited to share with you one of our most delicious recipes yet. South America has always been one of Pasta et Al’s most enthusiastic audiences, and this dish is built on the flavours of the Argentinian locro, a hearty stew of meat and vegetables. We’ve combined these elements with our unbeatable bone broth, producing a clear stock of beef, chorizo, butternut pumpkin, and baby corn. After straining, those ingredients are combined with a punchy chimichurri, forming the filling for our tortellini. Finally, our pasta dough is made in two parts, one with floral pink peppercorns, and the other with classic, warming black peppercorns.

✖️Dark Rye and Rosemary Sorpresine✖️

One of our most delicious doughs yet! This was 50% dark rye flour, a blend of maize, rice, and tapioca, and finely chopped rosemary mixed throughout. Served up in a simple minestra, straight out of the book (page 103)👌

It’s tricky weather for pasta making in Perth at the moment. Due to the heat (or air-conditioning blasting away to counter the heat), pasta sheets are drying as soon as they hit the board! So it’s all a mad rush of cling wrap, tea towels, and water spritzing (these ones needed a dab of water on every square). What are you all cooking up as 2024 comes to an end?

Incidentally, we’ve had a few queries about cutters lately. This fantastic brass cutter is one of my favourite pasta tools, and (if you’re in AUS/NZ) you can pick one up in our store. They’ve been selling fast over Christmas, so get in now! Link in bio or via this post 😊🍝

We’ve been getting into these cheeseburger fagottini lately, served in a tomato, bacon, and pickle juice broth 🍔🍝

Stepping through the fillings of our cheeseburger fagottini...

Start it off with a square of sesame seed dough, then lay down a circle of American red cheddar, a dollop of ketchup made with the tomatoes strained from our bacon broth, a squeeze of mild American mustard, and then a miniature meatball of bacon (also from the broth) and beef nestled on top 👌

Full recipe via link in bio!

To form fagottini, bring the corners of your stacked cheeseburger squares together in neighbouring pairs, pinching the very tips but leaving the top and edges open. Draw those same pinched corners together to meet above the filling, and press together to form a pyramid. Follow along clockwise from the middle row in the first photo!

Swipe to see the finished dish and the juicy filling. And head to our blog (via the link in our bio) to find the full recipe for our Cheeseburger Fagottini in Tomato, Bacon, and Pickle Broth with Homemade Ketchup 🍔🍝

✖️Cheeseburger Fagottini in Tomato, Bacon, and Pickle Broth with Homemade Ketchup✖️

It was only a matter of time before we put cheeseburgers into pasta. And I’ve got to say, we’re on to a winner!

This week's dish is a sesame dough fagottini, filled with a neat stack of American red cheddar, homemade ketchup, mild American mustard, and a mini beef hamburger patty. And it's served bobbing around in a tomato and bacon broth, with pickle juice stirred through and toasted sesame seeds sprinkled on top.

I really don't know why it's taken us so long to do this. Highly recommended, guaranteed to make you smile, cheesy-bacony-pasta goodness.

✖️Spinach Farfalle✖️ 

Nonna's trademark spinach dough works for any pasta, and is absolutely delicious (even the kids agree)! 

We form our farfalle using small rectangles of 2–3 × 4–5 cm, cutting the shorter edge with a zigzag (though of course, mix this up however you like).

To shape the pasta, make three pinches, similar to pleating, across the middle of each rectangle. The first pinch is from one side to about one-third of the way in, then the same on the other side, before squeezing those two pleats together firmly. With a practiced or lazy hand you can also just pinch once across the middle, gathering the dough as you go. Just ensure that you keep a channel down the centre to allow water to flow in and cook the pasta evenly. The pinch is so important, that this shape is known as stricchetti in Emilia-Romagna, meaning ‘pinch’ in local dialect.

An alternative to hand-pinching the channel is to lay a thin skewer lengthwise down the centre of each rectangle. Pinch a little peak on either side of it, and then squeeze together over the top, pulling the skewer out to complete the shape.

Making sunset agnolotti del plin with my OG pasta sidekick ☀️

Little Al's working with scraps of beetroot and turmeric doughs, left over from our recent giant ravs 🧡

You can find a tutorial for this shape in our book, or by scrolling back far enough in our Reels!

A favourite of ours: scarpinocc! Little Al, in particular, has always loved giving them their finishing poke in the middle. 

These were made with a traditional taleggio filling, and you can spot the GF variations with their slightly lighter dough.

Anyone else a scarpinocc fan?

We've now developed gluten-free versions for all of our recipes (grain-free is a work-in-progress)! These little ravs are made with our standard GF dough. For four serves of dough: 400 g GF flour (ours is a mix of maize, tapioca, and rice flours, with rice bran), 4 eggs, 80 ml water, 3 tsp xanthan gum, and a little olive oil and salt. 

The filling can be whatever you like, but this time around we went for a mix of browned mince, salami, and pecorino 👌 

You can check out our book or blog for all kinds of recipe ideas! Blog via any recipe link in bio 🍝

Ocean Sunset 🌊☀️

These giant ravs are dedicated to the pure bliss of watching the sun sink into the waves. Right before the midges start eating you alive. I’ve lived in and visited many incredible locations over the years, but the sunset’s always been all over the place. So it’s nice to finally have everything back where it belongs 😉

Our sunset sky and golden beach is made with an ombré of beetroot and turmeric doughs, with an ocean of blue spirulina, and silhouetted dunes of dark cocoa. And fittingly, for a WA-inspired pasta (if you know, you know), they’re stuffed with spuds 🥔🤙

Little Al showing off this week’s cappelletti 💪⁣
⁣
These are made using our go-to whole egg dough, with a portion of it coloured using blue spirulina. Hit up our blog or our book for the full recipe, or do your thing with this:⁣
⁣
- 250 g plain (all-purpose) flour⁣
- 150 g 00 flour⁣
- 4 eggs⁣
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil⁣
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt⁣
⁣
For the blue spirulina, add around 1 tsp for every 100g of flour, or until you’re happy with the colour!⁣
⁣
And the filling… really I just boiled some potatoes, mashed through some pecorino, and seasoned until we were all happy with it…⁣
