SMALL TAGLIATELLE TIMBALES

July 12, 2024

The long journey of meatballs has crossed countries and centuries. It is believed that from ancient Persia, they spread throughout the Middle East and then probably landed in Spain, ready to conquer every European country and every cuisine, including ours, generation after generation. The reason for the success of meatballs is certainly not difficult to understand: they are simple, incredibly tasty, inexpensive, and fun. And with their round shape… one leads to another!

Traditionally made with ground meat, the recipes for creating delicious meatballs are as endless as your imagination: fish, vegetable, sweet, fried, baked…We want to share with you the secret to making irresistible Cheese Meatballs, suitable for the whole family and perfect for any occasion. With mild Provolone and aged Pecorino, you can enjoy them on their own or accompanied by aromatic sauces, as well as with rich seasonal salads for lunch or dinner, as a snack, or as the protagonist of a delightful aperitivo.

Ingredients

320 g of Tagliatelle by Emilia Food Love
300 g of Rustica Tomato Passata by Emilia Food Love
80 g of mild Provolone by Emilia Food Love
80 g of Parmigiano Reggiano DOP 24 months by Emilia Food Love
20 g of butter
2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs
½ onion
Fresh cherry tomatoes
Fresh basil
Extra virgin olive oil Colline di Romagna DOP Emilia Food Love
Salt and pepper

Method

  1. Pour two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil into a pan and add the finely chopped onion, then fry over a low heat.

  2. Add the Rustica Tomato Passata, cook for about 15 minutes, and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Meanwhile, cook the tagliatelle in plenty of salted water, drain them "al dente", and toss them in the sauce for a couple of minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Dice the Provolone and grate the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.
  5. Grease and sprinkle with breadcrumbs some aluminum molds.
  6. Arrange the Tagliatelle in the molds and alternate layers of pasta, Provolone and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (356 °F) for a few minutes until the surface is golden brown.
  8. Remove the small timbales from the oven and decorate them with fresh cherry tomatoes and a few basil leaves before serving.

 

Tip

You can enrich Rustica Tomato Passata by Emilia Food Love with peas or mushrooms. For an even stronger flavor, try replacing the 24-month-aged Parmigiano Reggiano cheese with our longer-aged varieties or our Strong Provolone.

Gold to the Maya, a symbol of luck and strength to the Aztecs, but the first encounter between Christopher Columbus and cocoa was far from love at first sight. It was only about twenty years after its “discovery” that chocolate began its journey to Europe, transforming from an ingredient for medicinal drinks to the undisputed star of the culinary world. 

The recipe with which we wish you a very sweet Christmas is Triple Chocolate Panettone embellished with our spreads, because-if you love it as much as we do-you know chocolate is never enough!
