INGREDIENTS

  • Pasta Dough

    • 2 cups all-purpose flour or "OO" flour
    • 🥚 3 large eggs

  • Cheese Filling

    • 12 ounces ricotta cheese
    • 1 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated
    • 🥚 1 large egg yolk
    • 1/4 cup Italian parsley
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 1 pinch cayenne pepper

  • Assembly

    • 3 cups marinara sauce
    • 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
    • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

STEPS

1

Make a pile of flour on a work surface and make a well in the center. Add eggs to the well and scramble with a fork, gradually incorporating flour until a shaggy dough forms.

2

Knead dough by hand until smooth. Cover and rest for 10–15 minutes. Knead again until very elastic, about 4 minutes. Divide dough for use and refrigerate one piece for 2 hours.

3

Mix ricotta, Parmesan, egg yolk, parsley, salt, black pepper, and cayenne in a bowl for filling. Refrigerate until needed.

4

Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).

5

Roll out pasta dough into very thin sheets. Divide into four pieces.

6

Boil pasta sheets for 1 minute 30 seconds. Cool in cold water, then arrange on a work surface.

7

Spread cheese mixture and sauce evenly over pasta sheets. Add basil and mozzarella, then fold sheets to form handkerchiefs.

8

Layer handkerchiefs, alternating with sauce, reserved cheese mixture, and mozzarella. Top with Parmesan and drizzle olive oil.

9

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and bubbling, for 25–30 minutes. Let rest before serving.
