Sorrentinos

Sorrentinos are a beloved Argentine pasta dish, often enjoyed at family gatherings and celebrations. These delightful pockets of goodness are filled with a luscious combination of ham, spinach, and gooey mozzarella, all enveloped in tender, homemade pasta. Served with a rich tomato sauce and a sprinkle of crispy breadcrumbs, every bite is a taste of tradition and comfort. Originating from Italian cuisine, sorrentinos have become a staple in Argentina, reflecting the country's rich culinary heritage.

Ingredients

All-purpose flour
2 cups
Eggs
2 large
Water
2-3 tablespoons
Salt
1/2 teaspoon
Diced ham
1 cup
Fresh spinach, chopped
1 cup
Mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup
Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup
Butter, melted
2 tablespoons
Egg yolk
1
Tomato sauce
2 cups
Bread crumbs
1/2 cup

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, eggs, water, and salt. Knead until a smooth and elastic dough forms, about 5-10 minutes.
  2. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the diced ham, shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped spinach, grated Parmesan cheese, melted butter, and egg yolk until well combined.
  4. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into thin sheets, about 1/8 inch thick.
  5. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut the dough into circles, approximately 3-4 inches in diameter.
  6. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each dough circle, being careful not to overfill.
  7. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges to seal tightly, using a fork to crimp the edges if desired.
  8. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently add the sorrentinos and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
  9. Remove the sorrentinos from the water using a slotted spoon and drain them well.
  10. In a separate saucepan, heat the tomato sauce over medium heat until warmed through.
  11. Serve the sorrentinos topped with the warm tomato sauce and a generous sprinkle of breadcrumbs for added crunch.

Tips

  • 💡 For a vegetarian version, substitute the ham with sautéed mushrooms or roasted vegetables.
  • 💡 You can prepare the sorrentinos in advance and freeze them before boiling. Just boil them directly from the freezer, adding a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time.
