I grew up in a household where nobody in my family had ever made pasta from scratch, but I wanted to prove something different. An Italian friend of mine had doubts about my cooking skills, so I took up a challenge: homemade agnlotti.

I followed a Thomas Keller recipe for Agnolotti with peas and bacon, starting from a simple dough made with finely milled double-00 flour, olive oil, and a high ratio of egg yolks. The filling is a classic mix of peas, mascarpone, and breadcrumbs, and while it rests, the real challenge begins—rolling, shaping, and forming each piece by hand.

Agnolotti is a traditional stuffed pasta from Northern Italy, known for its delicate folding technique that locks in flavour. With a bit of help from my grandma, I carefully piped and shaped each piece, trying to keep them consistent while avoiding the common mistakes that can ruin fresh pasta dough.

Once shaped, they’re cooked and tossed in a sauce made from bacon, butter, stock, and vinegar, finished with a crispy cheese garnish. The result is simple but deeply satisfying, and one of my favourite dishes I’ve ever made.
