Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 50 milliliters Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 250 grams Cottage cheese
- 200 grams Potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 30 grams Butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons Fresh mint, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Nutmeg, freshly grated
- 0.25 teaspoons Pepper
- 20 grams Butter, for serving
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, eggs, water, and salt. Knead the mixture into a smooth dough. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 20 minutes.
While the dough rests, prepare the filling by combining cottage cheese, boiled and mashed potatoes, melted butter, fresh mint, chives, grated nutmeg, and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix well until the filling is smooth and evenly distributed.
Once the dough has rested, roll it out on a floured surface until it is very thin (about 2mm thick). Use a round cutter (8-10 cm in diameter) to cut out circles of dough.
Place a teaspoon of the cheese and mint filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges together to seal tightly, pinching them decoratively if desired.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle simmer. Add the filled pasta and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they float to the top and are tender.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter for serving until golden and lightly browned. Remove from heat.
Remove the cooked pasta from the pot using a slotted spoon and transfer it to a serving plate. Drizzle the browned butter over the pasta and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Minty Cheese Filled Pasta Kärntner Kasnudel!
