Salmon & Crayfish Pasta Filling

Ingredients

120g Salmon

120g Cray Fish

50g Crab Meat

400g Ricotta Cheese

50ml Whipping Cream

Zest and Juice of ½ Lemon

1 tsp Chopped Dill

Salt Pepper to taste

Method

Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix. Cover and place in the fridge until the pasta is rolled out.

 

The Pasta

Ingredients

300g Flour plus more for dusting

1 tsp Salt

3 Eggs plus 1 for the egg wash

2 tablespoons olive oil

Method

  • In a large bowl whisk together the flour and salt.
  • Make a well in the centre of the flour and add in the eggs all at once. Mix them together well using your hands. Add the olive oil and knead the dough for 5 minutes. Form into a ball and leave in the bowl, covered with plastic wrap for 30 minutes.
  • Flatten one piece of dough by hand. Run it through the thickest setting on a pasta machine, then take the rollers down two settings and run it through again to make it thinner.
  • Now, fold it in half and run it back through the thickest setting again, repeating this a few times for super-smooth dough. Start rolling the sheet down through each setting, lightly dusting with flour as you go. Turn the crank with one hand while the other maintains just a little tension to avoid any kinks or folds.
  • Take it down to 2mm, then lay the sheet flat and stamp out circles with a 12cm ridged cutter.
  • Working quickly, spoon 1 heaped teaspoon of filling into the middle of each, lightly brush the exposed pasta with water, Place another cut out circle of pasta on top of this, gently pressing to squeeze out any air, and seal.

 

Assembly

In batches cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water for 5 minutes. Drain the pasta and return to the pan add the butter and toss until all the butter is melted. Serve immediately spooning more melted butter over the top, add some flash fried sage leaves for some extra texture.
