Ingredients
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 whole onion diced
- 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh sage
- 2 leaf basil chopped
- 8 oz pork loin diced
- 8 oz beef sirloin diced
- 1 pinch salt to taste
- 1 pinch pepper to taste
- 1 pinch clove
- 1 pinch cinnamon
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 oz beef sirloin diced
- 4 oz loin of pork diced
- 1 pinch salt to taste
- 1 pinch pepper to taste
- 4 oz Swiss chard boiled, drained, and chopped
- 8 oz parmigiano-reggiano cheese grated
- 2 oz pecorino romano grated
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 4 whole egg lightly beaten
- 1 pinch cinnamon
- 4 cups All purpose white flour
- 3 teaspoon eggs lightly beaten
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 pinch parmigiano-reggiano cheese for garnish
Instructions
- First make the sauce: Place the oil in a skillet over medium heat; add the remaining sauce ingredients except the wine and cook until the meat is thoroughly done. Add the wine, lower the heat, and simmer, covered, until the pasta is done.
- Make the filling: Heat the oil and add both meats, the salt, and pepper, cooking over medium heat for 7 minutes. Add the swiss chard and cook for another minute or two, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to blend the flavors; remove from heat and place in a large bowl.
- Add the remaining filling ingredients and blend thoroughly until of a wet, pastelike consistency (if too dry, add a tbsp or two of milk).
- Now make the pasta: Place the flour in a large bowl (or food processor); add the remaining pasta ingredients and blend with a fork (or process) until a ball is formed. Place the ball on a floured surface.
- Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to a 1/4-inch thickness (the thinner the dough, the more tender the tordelli). Using the mouth of a white wine glass, cut the dough into rounds; after the initial batch is cut, roll the dough once again into a ball, roll with the rolling pin, and cut another series of rounds. Continue until all the dough is used.
- Fill each "round" with a small amount of filling; fold the round in half and seal the rounded edge, using the tines of a fork.
- When all the tordelli have been filled, place them in 4 quarts boiling, salted water, one at a time (do two batches if necessary), and cook for approximately 2 minutes. Taste the dough to check for doneness; do not cook longer than necessary or they will break open.
- Remove the tordelli with a slotted spoon and place in a large serving bowl, layered with the sauce.
- Top with grated Parmigiano Reggiano, and serve hot.
