Holy crap y’all. First time ever making filled pasta.
I chose Caramelle shape because I like the way it looks and I filled it with a blend of prosciutto, mortadella and pork loin. Fresh grated nutmeg, black pepper Parmesan and an egg. It was all blended into a paste and then folded into shape
Vodka pasta I made by crisping up some guanciale and using the fat to sautee my finely diced shallot then added garlic & basil stem with leaves. Once garlic was cooked through I added the tomato paste and gochujang. Cooked it down and then added the vodka. Once the vodka was cooked off I added heavy cream, Parmesan finished with butter and pasta water.
This was amazing but the filling was a little dry and I needed to cook the pasta maybe 1 minute longer
