The egg pasta is rolled out thinly and cut into small squares. The filling is made from a mixture of braised meats, including beef and pork, combined with onion, carrot, celery, rosemary, and usually Bardolino wine. This mixture is ground until it reaches a soft consistency. Each square of fresh pasta from the Italian farmhouse is hand-stuffed and closed, forming the characteristic “love knot.”
