Hey Gingis, I have a super cool recipe for you. Recently I hosted Joe Sasto at the studio! Joe is known for his amazing pasta dough, and together with my middle-eastern touch, we created a super beautiful seasonal pasta for you. The pasta dough was dyed with spirulina powder which gives a super vibrant color but does not overpower the filling flavors, which consist of ricotta, pickled lemons, garlic confit, black pepper and grated yogurt stone. After opening the pasta and cutting the sheet into a rectangular shape, we fill it and fold into a candy shape. That’s why this pasta shape called “Caramelle” which means candy in Italian. Get ready to savor the beauty of asparagus in a whole new light with this Caramelle Pasta. It’s a perfect activity for the weekend to make with your loved ones.

Lets Start Cooking!

step 1

Start by making the pasta dough- pour the flour on your working surface and create a pit in the middle.

Add the egg yolks, egg, spirulina powder and salt. Mix and knead for 12-15 min, until the dough is elastic and smooth.

step 3

Wrap the pasta with a plastic wrap and set aside while we work on the filling.

step 4

Blanch the asparagus in boiling water for 1 minute, then transfer to ice water to stop the cooking.

step 5

In a food processor, combine the ricotta, garlic confit, pickled lemon, black pepper, and yogurt stone. Blend until smooth.

step 6

Add the asparagus and blend until smooth.

step 7

Transfer the filling into a piping bag.

step 8

Open the pasta with a pasta machine to the second thinnest notch in your machine.

step 9

Using a pizza cutter, cut the pasta sheet into rectengular shape, about 1X2.5 inches size.

step 10

Pipe the filling in the middle.

step 11

Shape the caramelle- roll the pasta rectangle on itself. Tight the sides.

step 12

Prepare the sauce for the pasta by combining water, butter, asparagus’s tips and salt.

step 13

Boil the caramelle until they float, then immediately transfer to the sauce.

step 14
