Agnolotti del Plin Con Carne or Meat Filled Agnolotti del Plin

January 27, 2015 by Valerie Lugonja 15 Comments

 A Day of Pasta Making with Jens: Therapy for the Soul

1 Agnolotti del Plin with Meat Filling and Roasted Gravy

Taken with the simple and irrefutable fact that no purchased pasta comes close to homemade pasta and gaining confidence in the pasta making process, I invited Jens over for a day of pasta making. After the class we took together in Italy, last November (2014), we have both been motivated to make the Agnolotti del Plin. The shape is so easy to make and such fun. A little thrill shoots through my inner core every time I cut a row with the wheel. Who thought of this process? Thank you! It is brilliant, and such fun. Gather the family round. Buy a few ravioli cutting wheels. This is a great activity for the family.

2 Agnolotti del Plin with Meat Filling and Roasted Gravy

Traditionally, there are four sauces used for Agnolotti del Plin. Sage and Butter Sauce, Roasted Meat Sauce for the meat filled version, red wine or red wine and broth, and broth on its own. As we were making both versions on this day, the Roasted Meat Sauce was a must try.

3 Agnolotti del Plin with Meat Filling and Roasted Gravy

The soft pillowy cushion of each filled pasta pocket is texturally sublime and a personal triumph for me. This is pasta that I am proud to serve to anyone. It is noticeably homemade. It is vastly different texturally than anything one can purchase anywhere. And the gravy? The perfect complement to this meat filled version. It is subtle in flavour compared to the bold filling and offers a lovely mouth feel, as well. Vanja does not like thyme. The traditional version suggests adding fresh thyme leaves a minute before tossing the pasta into the sauce. Thyme would be an incredible addition visually and flavour-wise.

4 Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling

Here we are. Perky and ready to make 800g of flour into pasta as each of us plans to do a full recipe of each version of Agnolotti del Plin: the spinach-filled version and the meat-filled version.

Preparing the Meat Filling for the Agnolotti del Plin

5 Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling

Above is 440g of beef and 350g of pork loin on a bed of chopped vegetables. I was very confused about the amount of vegetables required to roast with the meat; however, researching the recipe in Italian led me to understand these are a necessary component of the roasted gravy sauce. In the past, this recipe was developed to use leftover food from the kitchen. It would be crazy for anyone to roast meat to make this pasta! The leftover bits of roasted pork, beef, Italian sausage and salame were gathered at the end of the week and put together with curly endive, Parmesan cheese and seasonings to make a tasty filling for the pasta. This was economics. Use everything one has. Waste nothing. Make it tasty. Italians in every region are masters of making tasty food out of almost nothing. Such masters that people nowadays do roast meat just to make this tasty traditional dish. The problem with this is that getting the right amount of meat for a recipe that traditionally uses leftovers is difficult. There was really no specific filling recipe. One used what was in the house to make a tasty filling. Of course, there was balance and the meat filling of the Piemonte region would typically consist of a combination of roasted meats, sausage and salame to create the regional meat filling flavour. I want to master that flavour before I go rogue and make my own creation from kitchen leftovers in my house.

6a Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling

I thought I had purchased plenty of beef with 440g purchased and needing only 300g cooked. Yet, there were only 220g of beef after roasting it. The amounts in our own concoction were therefore considerably different than the recipe, below. What we had and used is in brackets after the required amount of each item in the recipe.

6b Agnolotti del Plin Roasted Gravy

I was chopping meat for the meat filling. Jens whipped up the spinach filling.

6c Agnolotti del Plin Roasted Gravy

We followed Federico’s advice and heard him coaching as we tasted and reseasoned. “It must be bold, remember?” Jens echoed. Our ricotta wasn’t as wet as the one in Italy, so we added a little heavy cream to get a better consistency and noted how that little bit of cream changed the balance of flavour and the mixture again required more seasoning.

7 Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling

I bought the Italian sausage at the Italian Center Shop. I bought the spicy kind on purpose, but it was actually not spicy at all, which was very unusual. However, it was full of flavour and deeply delicious. I fried it up and carefully crumbled it into small pieces.

8 Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling

Above, you will find the chopped meats mixed together: the fried Italian sausage, the roasted beef, roasted pork loin, and the cooked salame.

9 Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling

The meat mixture went into the Thermomix to see if it would all fit for grinding. The answer was no. This is the full amount of meat, to the top of the 2 litre Thermomix bowl, so back in the bowl it went to have all other ingredients added to it, and then we ground half of the batch at a time and mixed them both together.

10 Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling

Cannot forget the head of curly endive. Gosh, this is bitter. I wanted to use very little of it! Level headed Jens: “Let’s see how it tastes with everything added to the mix.”

11 Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling 12 Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling

It cooked down considerably.

13 Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling

Parmesan was weighed and ground in the Thermomix.

14 Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling

All filling ingredients in the bowl.

15 Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling

And combined.

16 Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling

Half into the Thermomix bowl.

17 Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling

We pulsed the machine on Turbo for 1 second, checking consistency each time. After 5 times, we felt the consistency was where we wanted it. Not a paste, with enough texture to provide interest, yet small enough to be piped onto the pasta.

18 Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling 19 Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling

Pasta made and rested long ago. Both fillings made. Time for lunch.

Sustenance Break

20 Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling

Where’s the wine? Silly me.

Filling the Agnolotti del Plin

21 Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling

We are really missing the gorgeous pasta making eggs they have in Italy. They are actually raised and marked specifically for pasta making. The yolks are a deep yellow orange and the pasta is an unforgettable golden hue. Nothing like that here, so we took Federico’s advice and added a touch of tumeric to the flour.

22 Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling

Pasta 00 flour in the bowl for dusting the pasta, as needed, when rolling it. Rice flour on the tray for dusting each agnolotti del plin so there will be no sticking together.

23 Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling

Now we are rockin’ and rollin’. Each of us has hand cranked pasta rollers. Mine goes to 6, Jens to 7. We managed to roll lovely thin pasta with our pasta rollers. Not as lovely as Federico’s who has 9 settings on his, but they worked. I investigated electric pasta rollers for North American electrical supply, and just cannot decide which is best. Federico’s was faster and it seemed to produce pasta with better consistency.

24 Agnolotti del Plin Spinach Filling

We made the spinach agnolotti del plin first. Jens filled his with much less filling than I. I got 150 with my batch. Used all the pasta. We shared one batch of filling, remember? He got 300 at least with his little ones.

25 Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling

The meat filled agnolotti were the same size as my spinach ones, but I made them the next morning. I wasn’t as frugal with my pasta, and wasted a bit too much. So, I had a small 1/2 bag of filling left, but no more dough. I made 110 of the meat filled pasta.

26 Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling

I suppose now is the time I should tell you I didn’t like our filling. Interestingly, the curly endive was not at all bitter in this filling. It was bright. It was the salame that took over and we only put the required amount of it in the recipe. We definitely needed more beef. Much more beef. And a little spice from the Italian sausage would have been nice, too. I know I can make this again effortlessly with a very tasty filling that is properly balanced.

27 Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling 28 Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling

I added a little too much tumeric to this batch of pasta, no? The happy news: if I serve both together, it will be easy to tell which filling is in which.

29 Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling

Now for the magic. The row of little rounds of filling is turned over and upside down. The edge that was facing you is now sealed onto the pasta on the other side of the fillings.

30 Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling

The pasta is pinched vertically between each filling portion from one end to the other. Remember to leave an end open to release the air as you go.

31 Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling 32 Agnolotti del Plin Meat Filling

The ravioli roller is used to pinch together both pieces of pasta and to make the fancy fluted edge.

33 Agnolotti del Plin Filling34 Agnolotti del Plin with meat filling

The photo above, left, was taken by Jens in Italy. The roller is quickly pushed between each pinch to form the individual pockets of filled pasta.

35 Agnolotti del Plin with meat filling 36 Agnolotti del Plin with meat filling

They are then dusted with rice flour, and frozen individually, as below, on a parchment covered cookie sheet.

37 Agnolotti del Plin with meat filling

The following day, portions are packaged into ziplock freezer bags, labelled and dated.

Roasted Gravy for Agnolotti del Plin with Meat Filling

38 Agnolotti del Plin Roasted Gravy

Piemonte is the land of butter, not olive oil. There was butter added before roasting the meat, and there is butter added again, to release the vegetables from the pan and cook them together a little more.

39 Agnolotti del Plin Roasted Gravy

Once they are well cooked, 450g of beef stock was added and the mixture was puréed in the Thermomix until almost smooth. We purposefully left a little texture.

40 Agnolotti del Plin Roasted Gravy41 Agnolotti del Plin Roasted Gravy

At this point, the gravy was placed back into the pan, a cup of white wine was added, and slow cooked until reduced by half.

42 Agnolotti del Plin Roasted Gravy

There were 4.5 cups of the gravy and this was shared amongst 4 freezer bags.

Putting it All Together

43 Agnolotti del Plin with Roasted Gravy44 Agnolotti del Plin with Roasted Gravy45 Agnolotti del Plin with Roasted Gravy

Preparing a portion of the pasta for Vanja at lunch, I used only 1/2 a bag of the sauce which would have been enough for 2 portions. The texture and thickness of the roasted gravy is apparent in the photos, above. The wine was critical to balancing the flavour of this gravy.

46 Agnolotti del Plin with Roasted Gravy

Boiling the pasta in hot salty water for 4 minutes was perfect.

47 Agnolotti del Plin with Roasted Gravy 48 Agnolotti del Plin with Roasted Gravy 49 Agnolotti del Plin with Roasted Gravy

Tossed it in the sauce and poured it into the bowl. Only thing missing is the thyme leaves.

50 Agnolotti del Plin with Roasted Gravy

Vanja didn’t want Parmesan on his pasta. It should have a good shower of shredded Parmesan crowning each steaming pillow.

51 Agnolotti del Plin with Roasted Gravy 52 Agnolotti del Plin with Roasted Gravy

“Yup.” was Vanja’a first comment. “It’s tasty. I like it. It’s not “to die for”, but it’s good.” It will be next time.

53 Agnolotti del Plin with Roasted Gravy

Then he tasted the gravy. “Smck! Smck! Smck! Hmmm. It’s subtle. It’s tasty, but the pasta filling is much stronger. The gravy is great with the pasta but not so much on its own.” I thought it was sensational, but did understand his point, as the filling was very bold. It was such a great learning experience, and such a pleasure to make this pasta at home. “I can do it! I can do it!” And maybe, just maybe, all by myself. I just don’t like to. Thank you so much, Jens, for keeping me company and making this experience such a joy. I tuckered out at 3:30 though was thoroughly gratified as I know I would not have completed this project without Jens joining me. I completely enjoyed my alone time the next day filling the pasta, so that was the best therapy for one’s soul. “I can do it! I can do it! And, I can do it by myself!

Agnolotti del Plin Con Carne or Meat Filled Agnolotti del Plin



1 egg to 100g of 00 flour is considered ingredients for pasta for one. This is a traditional pasta specialty of the Piemonte region in Italy. The first post I wrote about Agnolotti del Plin with Spinach filling has detailed "how to" photos that should be looked at, as well, if you are planning on making this pasta. There are detailed "how to make the pasta" photos and instructions there, as well.

Ingredients

  • 500 g fresh homemade pasta dough

Ingredients for Filling:

  • 150 g beef (220g)
  • 80 g pork loin (200g)
  • 1 onion , diced or 1 cup diced onion
  • 3 celery , diced or 1 cup diced celery
  • 2 carrots , diced or 1 cup diced carrots
  • 80 g Italian sausage , skinned (300g)
  • ½ curly endive , thinly sliced
  • 100 g cooked salame , minced (200g)
  • 50 g freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • butter
  • salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • extra Parmesan cheese for topping cooked pasta

Ingredients for Roasted Meat Sauce:

  • celery , carrot, onion mixture with pan sauces from the roasted meats
  • knob of fresh butter (about 2 tablespoons or 30g)
  • 400 g beef stock
  • 1 cup white wine
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper , to taste
  • fresh thyme leaves to taste

Instructions

Instructions for the Filling:

  1. Roast the beef and the pork in the oven in a tray rubbed with butter alongside the chopped celery, onion and carrot and a little butter dabbed on top (Juices need to caramelize; add water or a touch of white wine to avoid burning, if necessary)
  2. Brown the Italian sausage in a pan; set aside
  3. Saute the endive in a little butter; set aside
  4. After meats are roasted and cooled, reserve the juices and mince each finely; combine with Italian sausage, salame, and endive
  5. Place meat mixture into a food processor; add egg and cheese; pulse to desired texture (not paste) paste) and adjust seasoning, as needed (salt, freshly ground black pepper)

Filling the Agnolotti del Plin:

  1. Prepare the pasta dough; rest for 30-60 minutes, then roll into sheets
  2. Prepare a cookie sheet by covering it with parchment paper; have rice flour out for sprinkling
  3. Take the rolled portion of pasta dough, and slice off the ends to make a rectangle; the slice in half or in thirds, depending upon the length of your dough
  4. Using one portion of the dough, place it horizontally in front of you and tilt the pastry bag vertically and disperse a small mound of filling on the long edge of the pasta sheet closest to you; continue along the edge of the pasta sheet, just far enough a part to pinch between each mound with fingers
  5. Once the pasta sheet is lined with mounds of filling, take a firm hold of each end of the sheet, and turn it over on top of itself, ensuring there is an edge formed one turned (see above photo)
  6. Gently press the edge to seal the sheet together, and close one end of the pasta filled with the mounds
  7. Using the pointer finger and thumb of both hands, pinch the dough around each mound of filling starting at the end that you have closed with a pinch
  8. Move down the row of mounds, repinching the one pinched side and closing the open side with a new pinch until the entire row is pinched, then pinch the other end
  9. Using a round pasta cutter (see photo) trim off the long sealed edge; turn the filled pasta sheet so that it is in front of you horizontally and the mounds are exactly upside down
  10. Line up the pasta roller (as in the photos above), very close to the dough and then just quickly push it through to cut each piece of Agnolotti del Plin free from the line- up; continue until each portion of filling has become an Agnolotti del Plin
  11. Dust with rice flour to avoid sticking and place on parchment covered pan until ready to cook, or freeze
  12. Continue until all Agnolotti del Plin have been formed
  13. At this point, you can cover with a towel until cooking time, or fast freeze over night and then portion into zip lock bags for serving another day

Roasted Meat Sauce for Meat Filled Agnolotti del Plin: (makes 2 cups sauce)

  1. Place sauce ingredients from the roasted meats into a frying pan
  2. Saute ingredients with 2 tablespoons butter; add 400g beef stock and puree, but leave a little texture
  3. Add 1 cup of white wine; place back into the skillet and reduce to half
  4. Season again; add fresh time leaves just before serving
  5. Add the meat filled Agnolotti del Plin, tossing to cover all with the sauce, and serve immediately with extra grated Parmesan cheese

Recipe Notes

A very specific step by step photo essay about how to fill the pasta is available with my Spinach filled Agnolotti del Plin post, here. It would be well worth your time to view the photos before attempting to make this pasta without any previous experience.
Meat for Roasting: When buying meat for roasting, purchase double the amount needed, or more. I purchased 440g of beef and it produced 220g of roasted beef.
Roasted Gravy Sauce Portions: We made a double batch of meat filling so each of us had 2.25 cups of sauce. Half a cup of the roasted gravy will sauce 24 of the agnolotti del plin. One cup of the sauce is enough for 4 servings of pasta.
Portioning the Pasta: This is dependent upon the size of your filled portions, but generally 10-12 portions would be considered a serving.
Meat in Filling: There are 410g of meat in this recipe. We doubled it, so we needed 820g of meat.
We had 220g of beef instead of 300g, so we used
200g of pork loin instead of 160g, and
300g of Italian Sausage instead of 160g.
We kept to the 200g of salame.
In the end, we had 920g of meat. Woops. Didn't count very well. Surprisingly, the flavour was completely overpowered by the salame. Lesson learned.

Filling each batch of pasta took 2 hours. Making the pasta and the fillings took 2 hours.As I said at the beginning, a perfect family activity. Every time you get out a batch to enjoy as a starter or as a meal, recalling the time spent making the pasta together will be a part of the eating experience. Nothing is more satisfying than a job well done. This is certainly one of those and a learning experience I look forward to sharing with my own family.

      The next time I make this pasta, Deb, I am making the pasta and the filling the day before. Because I am old. Then I can know it will be 2 hours or 4 hours of time to fill the pasta. Each batch takes 2 hours to fill. I love it and it is such fun to make! Londyn could absolutely do it!
      Miss you!

    Looks great Valerie, and nice photos!
    I had a really enjoyable and relaxing day hanging out making good soul food, Italian style. Thanks for organizing… and what a kitchen! It was a real pleasure to have that much space to work in. I love my little kitchen area, but I’m definitely more space-challenged.
    A couple of notes / observations: I was surprised at how much the heavy cream affected the intensity of the flavour, even though we didn’t add much. And what’s with Vanja not liking Parmesan cheese?? That’s ok, he’s still a good guy, he gave me beer.

    Here’s hoping we can do this again sometime soon.

    Val – the pasta looked great and so yummy – I got a pasta maker two Christmas’s ago and it still sitting in the box – your post inspires me to pull it out – but at this time my kitchen is under renovation process (the last 3 yrs lol and not fun) so I must wait patiently until I have the room to make this treat – but thank you for sharing this culinary adventure – totally jealous of your trip to Italy lol – love your site and the great many recipes you share

      Germaine,
      Thank you SO much! If you make this pasta, make the spinach filling. It is SO SO delicious – and as you read, I didn’t like AT ALL our version of this meat filling, though the pasta was sublime. It sounds like it might be a while, though! 🙂
      Thrilled you have taken the time to chime in.
      Sincerely and with a hug,
      Valerie

    What an awesome day you had! I’m totally wishing you lived closer as I’m a huge fan of the motivational, as well as convivial, aspects of cooking together! The plin looked lovely and I am sure they were delicious as well. I hear you on the issue of substitutions when bringing a recipe home from abroad though. I’m constantly tweaking to get the flavours in certain recipes. What a way to round out January. Thank you for sharing and for your kind wishes. Best to you and yours for 2015. Mary

    Wow, looks like a fun day or part of a day!

    Val, I love the shirt you have on.

    I am coming up to Edm in March – how do I book into your kitchen:)?

      Janet!
      I cannot believe you are finally getting to Edmonton – BUT in March when I will be in SLC for the entire month celebrating the brith of my first grandson!
