Step 1

Make sure you look at all the step-by-step photos above for the folding.

Step 2

Roll out a sheet of pasta dough (follow my rolling guide in the pasta dough recipe). Roll to setting 6 or 7 on a marcato machine.

Step 3

Cut into 4cm (1 1/2 inch squares) If they dry out too quickly then keep them under a slightly damp tea towel.

Step 4

Bring two opposite points up to meet and pinch together firmly.

Step 5

Bring the other two points together on the opposite side to the already pinched points (the photos will help here!).

Step 6

Use your thumbs to press in the middle to help bring the last points together.

Step 7

Pinch both the top and bottom firmly to keep intact.

Step 8

Place the finished shapes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and loosely covered with plastuc wrap.

Step 9

Cook in a large pot of well salted water for 2 - 3 minutes and add straight into your sauce of choice.
