MINTY CHEESE FILLED PASTA (KäRNTNER KASNUDEL)



Minty Cheese Filled Pasta (Kärntner Kasnudel) image

Another traditional dish from Austria, which is rather easy to make, even though a bit time consuming, but the effort is absolutely worth it. You can find this dish mainly in the south of Austria (I like to think it is a bit Italian-influenced) and sometimes it is the only vegetarian food (apart from salad) to find on a menu (countryside pubs and restaurants). Lucky me,that it is one of my favourites. This dish usually comes with fountains of melted, browned butter, you can either induldge or adjust, e.g. limit, the amount to your preferences :).

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

550 g flour
1 egg
150 ml water (lukewarm)
salt
500 g curds (or ricotta)
300 g potatoes (cooked and mashed)
1 tablespoon mint (fresh or dried, adjust to taste)
50 -100 g butter (melted and browned)
1 tablespoon french parsley (minced)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Knead a soft pasta dough out of the first 4 ingredients, form a ball, wrap in plastic and place in fridge for about 30min.
  • Cook potatoes for about 25-30 minutes (depending on their size) peel and mash rather thoroughly.
  • Mix together curd, potatoes and mint (rub dried one between your fingers). Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Form ~1inch diameter balls out of the filling.
  • Use a rolling pin or a pasta machine to flatten dough (2mm thin).
  • Cut out (using a glass or pasta forms) medium sized pasta circles (about 1,5 - 2 inch in diameter),
  • Place your filling in the center of your pasta circles/rounds and fold/press them together into semicircles.
  • Seal edges using your hands or a fork. (experienced Austrian chefs "kreindel" their Kasnudeln, which means, they use a special "finger-technique" to make the pasta's edges look like gimp/border. It might look pretty, but it's very difficult. To do and for me to explain :)).
  • Put noodels into salted, boiling water and let simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes.
  • Either serve Kasnudel with melted, browned butter, sprinkled with minced french parsley, or fry them in a pan (butter) until lightly brown and crispy.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound paccheri pasta
48 ounces ricotta
1 cup store-bought pesto
4 cups fontina cheese, shredded
One 15-ounce jar store-bought alfredo sauce
Fresh basil, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the paccheri for 1 minute less than the package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain. Rinse the pasta thoroughly with cold water after draining.
  • Combine the ricotta with 1/2 cup of the pesto and 2 cups of fontina, then mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a piping bag or resealable bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the mixture into each paccheri. (This doesn't need to be perfect. If a paccheri is very torn or broken, do not use.) Stand each filled paccheri upright in a 10-inch springform pan until it is packed tightly.
  • Thin the alfredo sauce with the reserved pasta water in a bowl, then pour it into the pan over the filled paccheri, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 cups fontina cheese.
  • Bake until the mixture is bubbly and the cheese on top is melted, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Drizzle with the rest of the pesto and garnish with the fresh basil. Remove the springform side, then slice and serve.

PASTA WITH MINT AND PARMESAN



Pasta With Mint and Parmesan image

The pairing of pasta with mint and Parmesan is a good one. There is something about the lightly assaultive yet somehow sweet nature of mint that is unlike any other herb. Older cuisines use it occasionally, but it is rarely seen as a major player. In this dish, however, softened by butter and cheese, mint converts a basic but undeniably heavy combination into an easy yet complex pasta dish best described as refreshing. To the inevitable question, Can I use olive oil instead of butter? my answer is that you can, but you will completely change the nature of the dish; it won't be bad, but it won't be as good. Better, I think, to cut the butter back to two tablespoons. But because this sauce is cut with the pasta cooking water, the butter is spread nicely throughout, and it really isn't a huge amount per person.
