Instructions

Working time approx. 45 minutes; Total time approx. 45 minutes

Make a pasta dough from flour, eggs, water, and oil. Combine the filling ingredients and season to taste—you can use a bit more flour if you like. Shape the dough into small rounds, roll them out, place a generous amount of filling in the center, and fold them over, pressing the edges together firmly. Cook in boiling salted water until the doughnuts float to the top. Drain and fry briefly on both sides in a hot pan with a little oil or lard. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.
