Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil the 1 large potato in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

  2. Step 2

    Mash the potato with 0.5 cup pecorino and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper until smooth. Taste and add more salt if needed.

  3. Step 3

    Cut the 8 ounces fresh pasta sheets into 3-inch rounds. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each round.

  4. Step 4

    Fold each round over the filling and press edges to seal, forming a half-moon. Crimp with a fork if desired.

  5. Step 5

    Boil the stuffed pasta in salted water for 3-4 minutes until they float. Drain, toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil and remaining 0.5 teaspoon black pepper. Serve hot.
