Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

One 5.3-ounce wedge Sartori Black Pepper BellaVitano®
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 leek, white and light green parts, thinly sliced
1 shallot, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 10-ounce bag frozen peas, thawed
Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 large eggs plus 1 yolk
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed and for dusting (see Cook's Note)
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the filling and sauce: Shred the Sartori Black Pepper BellaVitano® on the large holes of a box grater. Place 1/2 cup of the cheese in an airtight container in the refrigerator for serving. Reserve the remaining cheese for the filling.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until foamy, but not brown. Add the leeks, shallots and 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and translucent, but not brown, about 5 minutes. Add the peas and cook until heated through and softened, but still bright green, about 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a food processor and add the lemon zest, 1 tablespoon butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the reserved Sartori Black Pepper BellaVitano®. Process, scraping down the sides as needed, until smooth. Let cool to room temperature, then transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a 3/4-inch-wide plain tip.
  • For the pasta dough: Whisk the oil, whole eggs and yolk with a fork in a large liquid measuring cup.
  • Put the flour and a large pinch of salt in a food processor and pulse briefly to combine. With the motor running, slowly add the egg mixture through the feed tube and process until the dough forms a ball around the blade. (If the dough is too sticky to form a ball, add a tablespoon or so of flour and process again. If it is too crumbly to form a ball, add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and process again.) Once the dough forms a ball, process until smooth and springy, 20 to 30 seconds.
  • Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and knead several times until it comes together in a smooth ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. (The dough can be made 1 day ahead, wrapped and refrigerated. Let it come to room temperature before rolling.)
  • Anchor a pasta machine to your countertop or fit a stand mixer with the pasta attachment. Set the machine to the widest setting. Unwrap the dough and cut it into 4 equal pieces. Wrap 3 of the pieces while you work with the fourth.
  • Flatten the dough piece into a rectangle and lightly dust with flour. Roll it through the pasta machine. Fold the dough in thirds like a letter and feed it through the pasta machine. Repeat the folding and feeding of the dough through the machine 2 more times. (Rolling and folding in this manner will help strengthen and smooth the dough.)
  • Set the pasta machine to the next setting (one setting thinner than the widest). Flour the dough as necessary and feed it through the machine. Repeat, feeding it through one more time. Adjust the machine to the next thinnest setting and feed the dough through 2 times as above. Continue changing the setting and feeding the dough through 2 times for each setting until you have fed the dough through the second-to-last setting. The dough should be thin enough to see your hand through. Cover the dough sheet with plastic wrap. Repeat the folding and rolling process with the 3 remaining pieces of dough, covering each dough sheet as you finish.
  • Lightly dust a baking sheet with flour. Starting 1 inch from one end of a sheet of dough, pipe an even line of filling all the way down it, stopping 1 inch from the other end. Fold the dough over so that it extends about 1 inch past the filling and press to seal the long edge. Trim the excess dough from the sealed side with a fluted pasta wheel. Seal the ends by pinching them together. With your thumb and forefinger, pinch every inch along the dough sheet to make little pockets of filling (short fingernails work best here so the dough doesn't tear). Use the fluted pasta wheel to cut between each pocket, starting closest to you and pushing firmly away, creating little purses. Transfer to the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
  • Combine the lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons water and remaining 5 tablespoons butter in a large skillet. Heat over medium heat, swirling often, until the butter is melted and the sauce is emulsified.
  • Add the agnolotti to the boiling water and stir. Once they float to the surface, let them cook for about 1 minute. Use a spider or slotted spoon to transfer the agnolotti to the skillet and coat in the sauce. Gently transfer to a warm serving platter, top with the reserved 1/2 cup
  • Sartori Black Pepper BellaVitano® and sprinkle with the mint and black pepper.

SWEET PEPPER RICE



Sweet Pepper Rice image

This colorful rice is perfect for a Mexican meal. The rice takes on the warm essence of sweet peppers, onions, and paprika as they slowly simmer together. Cayenne adds heat, but for a spicier version, include a diced jalapeno chili or two. This also makes a nice filling for bell peppers. Adapted from Field of Greens cookbook by Annie Somerville. I f you do use brown basmati rice, you may need to cook it a little longer, check pkg. directions)

Steps:

  • Heat oil and butter in a large skillet that has a tight fitting lid. Add the onion and 1/2 teaspoons salt; saute over medium heat about 5 mins., until the onion is soft. Add the garlic and wine(or veg. broth) and cook 1-2 minutes , until the pan is nearly dry. Follow with the bell peppers(and chlies if using), 1/2 teaspoons salt, paprika, and a few pinches of cayenne, and the black pepper. Stir in the drained rice and saute with the onions and peppers until heated through, about 3 minutes.
  • Pour the boiling water over, making sure that is the rice is covered. When the water returns to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover the pan and cook until rice is tender, just under 20 mins.(longer for brown rice).
  • Gently stir in the cilantro and serve. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the flavor of your dish. Whenever possible, use fresh, seasonal vegetables and herbs.
  • Cook the rice perfectly: Rice is the base of this dish, so it's important to cook it properly. Follow the instructions on your rice package or use a rice cooker to get perfect results.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Season to taste: Once the dish is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or other spices to your liking.
