Malfatti alla Salvia
From Chef Simon Pesusich

You saw it Thursday, October 19, 2006

Ingredients

  • 15 oz. Ricotta Cheese
  • 2 oz. Mascarpone
  • 1 lb.Fresh spinach, trim to leaves only then steam, drain and finely chop
  • 1 Large Egg
  • Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper to share
  • 3.5oz. All purpose flour, divided
  • 4 TBS Unsalted butter
  • 12 Fresh sage leaves, chopped
  • Shaved Parmigianino Reggaino for garnish

  • Instructions

    In a mixing bowl, rapidly mix the ricotta, mascarpone, spinach, egg and seasoning together until cohesive, about 10-15 seconds. Sprinkle in 3 oz. flour and stir rapidly for 10-15 seconds or only until the mixture begins to pull away from the side of the bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning.

    Add the other 1/2 ounce of flour only if necessary. Do not over stir or the dough becomes too tough and heavy.

    Cover and refrigerate up to 3 days before using if desired.

    Use a large scoop, mixture makes 12 apricot sized malfatti.

    In a deep pot over high heat, bring salted water to a boil. Drop the malfatti into the water and boil for about 1 minute. The malfatti will rise to the surface and some small pieces of dough will break off. Turn the heat down to a medium boil, not a rolling boil, and boil for another 4-5 minutes or until the center is just cooked through ( to test, remove one and pierce). Do not overcook or they will fall apart.

    Remove from the water using a slotted spoon and place in warm serving bowls.

    Melt the butter in a small sauté pan over low heat along with the sage leaves. Add 1-2 tablespoons of past water if needed.

    To serve: pour the melted sage butter over malfatti and sprinkle with shaved ptarmigan reggaino. Serve immediately.

    Makes 4 servings.
