Coltunasi, Romanian recipe

For the pasta dough, knead the durum wheat semolina with the egg, salt, and a little water (if needed) into a smooth dough. Let the dough rest for about an hour. In the meantime, prepare the filling. To make this, mix the quark with an egg, salt, and the custard powder. Divide the dough into four pieces and roll each one out as thinly as possible; a pasta machine is best for this. Cut the dough sheets into rectangles (approx. 6 x 6 cm). Place a level teaspoon of the prepared filling on each rectangle and fold the dough over once. Now you can press the edges together with the back of a small fork. Boil the filled parcels in salted water over medium heat for 5 minutes. Then carefully remove them with a ladle. You can add about 10 parcels to the water at a time and prepare the next ones while they cook. Place the cooked parcels in a pan and keep warm on heat setting 1, pour over hot butter, and sprinkle with sugar. Alternatively, you can use an ovenproof dish and bake it at 100°C. With a thin pasta dough, you’ll get about 50 pieces.
