Agnolotti

Agnolotti is a type of stuffed pasta, similar to ravioli, originating from the Piedmont region of Italy. These small, typically rectangular or half-moon shaped pasta pockets are made from fresh egg pasta dough and filled with a variety of savory fillings. Common fillings include roasted meat (such as beef, veal, or rabbit), vegetables, and cheeses. The pasta itself has a delicate, smooth texture, while the filling provides a rich and flavorful experience. Agnolotti are often served simply, dressed with butter and sage, a light tomato sauce, or a meat-based ragu, allowing the quality of the pasta and filling to shine through. The appearance is often a pale yellow color, with slight variations depending on the egg content of the dough.

Common Uses

  • Agnolotti are frequently served with brown butter and sage. The nutty browned butter complements the rich filling, while the sage provides an aromatic herbaceous counterpoint, making it a simple yet elegant dish.- As a flavorful alternative, Agnolotti can be paired with a light tomato sauce. The acidity of the tomato balances the richness of the filling, creating a well-rounded and satisfying meal.- Agnolotti is traditionally served with a hearty meat ragu, such as a braised beef or veal sauce. The ragu clings beautifully to the pasta, infusing each bite with savory flavor, providing a filling dinner.- In some preparations, Agnolotti are served in a clear broth, often a simple vegetable or meat broth. This allows the flavor of the filling to be the star of the dish, offering a lighter and more delicate experience.- Agnolotti can be made with cheese-based fillings such as ricotta and spinach or parmesan, making them a vegetarian option. These are often served with creamy sauces or simply olive oil.- Sometimes, Agnolotti can be cooked with mushrooms and vegetables such as asparagus and zucchini for a light and fresh meal. It goes well with a white wine sauce or a light garlic dressing.

Storage Tips

Agnolotti is best stored according to whether it is fresh, dried, or frozen. Fresh agnolotti should be refrigerated in an airtight container and used within a few days. Dried agnolotti should be stored in a cool, dry place, like a pantry, in its original packaging or an airtight container for extended shelf life. Frozen agnolotti can be kept in the freezer in its original packaging or a freezer bag, and cooked directly from frozen.
