Back to the blog with a showstopper! This recipe is gorgeous and definitely going to wow people. Try to get pretty orange-yolked eggs for a nice effect. These do look kind of funny because the pasta vacuums in so you can see the circle of the yolk.
Pasta dough was fine, would be really nice to have a pasta roller though. Kind of a pain to roll out by hand. Took a little while to get the hang of assembly, but the basic idea is that you should make sure the pasta square is big enough to hold the thing, at least 4.5" square. Just moisten the edges--water would be fine, no need for egg whites? Then lift the sides and cup when you're sealing so that you don't have to stretch the top piece of pasta. Do the filling on top of parchment, easier to move it.
The sage brown butter was awesome. I'd eat this on pastas all day long! There is absolutely no need for so much of it, though--one stick of butter would probably be perfectly adequate.
Overall, YUM. Definitely a project--took me most of the afternoon, though I could do it faster next time--but worth it for a special occasion, like getting back together with all my favorite Pawnlings :)
Butter! Eggs! My life!
