Difficulty:

Intermediate

Total time:

90 min

Servings:

6 Portions

Ingredients:

For the bignè
2 Eggs
50 g Butter
1 Tablespoon of sugar
100 g of water
1 Pinch of fine salt
For the hazelnut cream
500 ml of Milk
6 Yellow eggs
50 g of hazelnut paste
200 g of sugar
1 Vanilla bean

PREPARATION

For the bignè
1

First of all dedicate yourself to the bignè preparation: in order to prepare the choux pastry, pour some water, some milk, some sugar and salt in a pan. Then add the butter cut into cubes and boil everything. At this point, add the flour at once and mix well with a wooden spoon. In order to avoid the creation of lumps, mix rapidly and cook the roux until a white patina appears on the bottom of the pan.

2

Transfer the obtained mixture in a bowl and add an egg per time mixing it with a spoon in order to incorporate it. At the beginning, the mixture will appear separated, but continue to mix it. Only when the egg will be completely absorbed, you can add the next one. Once added all the eggs, you will obtain a smooth and solid dough.

3

Now transfer it in a pastry bag. Take a baking tray and line it with baking paper. Take the pastry bag and start filling the tray, by squeezing some mixture and forming little dough balls well-spaced and walnut-sized.

4

Once filled the tray, with a wet spoon, press gently the balls surface, so that you can create the tip of the bignè. Subsequently, whisk a yellow egg with some water in a little bowl and use the mixture to brush the bignè surface. Warm up the oven in fan mode at 220°C. Once hot, lower the temperature to 180°C and bake your bignè. Cook for about 20-25 minutes. Take your bignè out and let them cool before using them.

For the cream
5

To prepare the cream: in a little pan bring to boil some milk with a vanilla bean. In a bowl, instead, mix sugar, flour and stracchino cheese. Subsequently add the yellow eggs and mix everything well. Once the milk has started boiling, pour in the mixture of the bowl; mix everything by using a whisk until the cream gets thickened.

6

Once your cream is ready, add the hazelnut paste and let it rest by cooling it down.

7

At this point take your bignè and come the cream out of the fridge, pour it in a sac à poche and start filling every single bignè by making a little hole in the bottom. Your bignè with hazelnut cream are ready to be served.

Ravioli with pumpkin flowers and gorgonzola cheese

Author: Guido Boschetti

Difficulty:

Intermediate

Total time:

50 min

Servings:

1 Portions

Ingredients:

24 Pumpkin flowers
100 g of Tipico IT's Gorgonzola
100 g of grated Parmigiano Reggiano
4 Eggs
400 g of Tipico IT's flour
1 Tablespoon of Tipico IT's extra virgin olive oil
50 g of Butter
1 Bunch of sage

PREPARATION

1

First, prepare the egg pasta: on a pastry board or in a very large bowl, make a well in the flour and add the eggs in the centre; it is important that the eggs are at room temperature, so remember to take them out of the fridge a few hours beforehand.

2

Start to knead the dough, taking care not to let the eggs come out of the fountain, mix the dough well and knead it vigorously for at least 10/15 minutes: the dough should be extremely smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with cling film and leave it to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.

3

In the meantime, clean the zucchini flowers, remove the stems and pistils, rinse them, dry them and cut them into small pieces.

4

Chop an onion and put it in a pan with some olive oil and the thinly cut zucchini flowers, stew and add salt and pepper.

5

Let it to cool. Next add the Gorgonzola cheese. The mixture must be absolutely dry and very compact.

6

After 30 minutes, you can take the dough out of the fridge and start rolling it out with a rolling pin or, alternatively, with the special machine for rolling out dough into thin sheets.

7

Using a teaspoon, place the filling on the sheets of pastry you have prepared, forming evenly spaced rows: small portions of the mixture about 3 cm apart, both horizontally and vertically.

8

When you have finished, cover the sheets with the filling with the plain ones and begin to form the ravioli: using a pastry wheel or a knife, cut each piece and close the edges perfectly, pressing well with your fingers and removing any excess dough. Place each ravioli on a flour-dusted cloth, taking care not to overlap them.

9

When you will have finished the ravioli, put a pot of water to boil for their cooking and prepare the sauce of the pasta: in a pan melt some butter, put the sage and let the butter get tasty.

10

When the water boils, drop the ravioli: cook for about 5 minutes (the cooking time will depend on the thickness of your sheets) then drain with a skimmer directly into the pan with the butter, adding also 1 tablespoon of cooking water.

11

Let it cream well adding some more spoons of grated Parmigiano: in this step rather than turning with a spoon it is advisable to skip the ravioli moving the pan, so as to avoid that they break. Serve, taking care to place a few leaves of sage on each plate.

Aubergine parmigiana

Author: Guido Boschetti

Difficulty:

Intermediate

Total time:

100 min

Servings:

1 Portions

Ingredients:

3 Aubergines
500 g of Smoked provola
1 Golden onion
Extra virgin olive oil
Fine salt
1 kg of Tomato puree
150 g of Tipico IT's Granetta di Capra
Basil
Black pepper
Peanut oil

PREPARATION

1

To prepare the aubergine parmigiana, start with the sauce. Clean and chop the onion, pour it into a pan where you have heated the olive oil. Let it brown, stirring often to avoid burning. Then add the tomato puree.

2

Adjust the salt and add the basil leaves. Leave to cook over a gentle heat for 40-45 minutes.

3

In the meantime, cut the smoked provola into cubes, keeping a piece aside for the end.

4

Now move on to the aubergines, clean and trim them. Slice lengthways into 4-5 mm thick slices.

5

Then fry the aubergines in hot oil, dipping a few pieces at a time. As soon as they are lightly browned, drain them on a tray with paper towels.

6

Finally move on to the composition: start by pouring a little sauce into a 20-30 cm baking dish. Form the first layer by arranging the aubergine slices, pour the tomato sauce, spread it and add some cubes of smoked provola. Sprinkle with Granetta di capra and basil leaves. Start again adding the tomato sauce and the aubergines, which should be placed in the opposite direction.

7

And then the cheeses and the basil leaves. Continue in this way until you reach the last layer of aubergines, which you will season, once again, with the sauce and the smoked provola cheese that you have set aside.

8

Finish with the Granetta di capra and bake in a preheated static oven at 200° for about 30 minutes. Once the cooking time is up, let it rest for about 15-20 minutes before serving your aubergine parmigiana.

Tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms

Tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms

Author: Guido Boschetti

Difficulty:

Intermediate

Total time:

50 min

Servings:

1 Portions

Ingredients:

200 g of Tipico IT’s 00 Flour
3 Eggs
Tipico IT's semolina flour for sprinkling
500 g of Porcini mushrooms
35 g of Tipico IT’s Extra virgin olive oil
1 Clove of garlic
Black pepper
50 g of Butter
Fine salt
Parsley

PREPARATION

1

To prepare the tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms, start with the fresh pasta: on a pastry board or in a bowl, pour the flour, create the classic fountain shape and pour in the centre the previously beaten eggs. Mix with a fork starting from the centre, gradually gathering the flour. When the dough will be more compact, work it with your hands for about 10 minutes, kneading vigorously.

2

Give the dough a spherical shape, wrap it with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature, in a cool place away from heat sources, for about 30 minutes.

3

In the meantime, devote yourselves to the porcini mushrooms: clean them from the soil, scraping the stem with a small knife. Then cut them into slices.

4

In a large frying pan, pour the butter and melt it over very low heat; when it is almost completely melted, pour in the oil, let it warm slightly over low heat, then pour in the porcini mushrooms and a whole clove of garlic, cleaned or chopped if you prefer. Add salt and pepper to taste and let the mushrooms cook for about 10 minutes. At the end of cooking, you can remove the whole garlic if you added it. Once ready keep warm.

5

Then chop the parsley very finely and keep it aside.

6

Once the necessary resting time has passed, take the dough and divide it into pieces; lightly flour the piece to be passed through the machine to roll out the dough and keep the remaining dough aside covered with plastic wrap. Insert the first piece into the machine, going from the thickest to the penultimate so as to obtain the right thickness of the sheet.

7

When you get to penultimate step of the machine, pass the strip of dough again, in fact you will need two passes at this thickness to pull the sheet well.

8

Lightly flour the work surface with some semolina flour and roll out the first sheet of dough; proceed in the same way with another piece of dough, until you have finished the dough, dust the sheets with semolina and let them dry 5 minutes on each side. Fold one of the shorter sides of each sheet inwards (this will create a sort of “tab” to make the tagliatelle easier to pull up once ready) and then roll the pasta up on itself.

9

Using a sharp, lightly floured knife, begin making the noodles, cutting to a thickness of 6.5-7 mm. Then lift each roll to make your nests of noodles, to be placed as you go on a part of the work surface lightly floured with semolina flour or on a tray.

10

Bring the water to a boil and salt the taste; cook the tagliatelle for 3-4 minutes. Then drain the noodles directly into the sauce, saving the cooking water. Turn on the low heat under the pan with the sauce and stir the ingredients to combine. Add the finely chopped parsley and if needed, you can add a ladle of pasta cooking water to prevent the tagliatelle from being too dry. Then serve the tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms as soon as they are ready.
