What it is
These are fresh pasta pockets made with whole wheat flour and eggs. They are filled with a savory mixture of ground beef and finely diced vegetables.

How people cook with it
These filled pasta are a versatile option for a quick and satisfying meal. They can be served with a variety of sauces or simply dressed with butter and herbs.
- Tossed with marinara sauce
- Dressed with brown butter and sage
- Served with a light pesto
- Added to a simple broth
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the fresh pasta to the boiling water. Stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook for the time indicated on the package, typically a few minutes, until the pasta floats to the surface and is tender. Drain the pasta well, reserving a little of the cooking water. Toss immediately with your chosen sauce or a drizzle of olive oil and fresh herbs. The reserved pasta water can be used to help emulsify and coat the pasta with the sauce.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike dried pasta, fresh pasta cooks much faster due to its higher moisture content. The whole wheat flour in the dough provides a slightly nuttier flavor and a chewier texture compared to pasta made with refined flour. The inclusion of beef and vegetables in the filling makes it a self-contained dish, requiring minimal additions.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and flavorful meal solution will appreciate this product.
