Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces ground beef
  • 4 ounces ground pork
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • salt, to taste
  • ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 large egg
  • 84 wonton wrappers
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh sage

Method

  • Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef and pork; saute until brown, about 3 minutes. Add spinach and saute until wilted and liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Cool.
  • Finely chop mixture in processor. Tranfer to medium bowl. Mix in cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix in egg.
  • Lightly flour baking sheet. Arrange 12 wonton wrappers on work surface. Spoon 1 teaspoon filling in center of each. Brush edges with water. Fold each wrapper in half, forming triangle. Press edges together. Using 2-inch diameter ruffled cookie cutter, cut edges to form half-moon shape. Transfer to baking sheet. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover; chill.).
  • Melt butter in heavy medium skillet over low heat. Add sage; keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, working in batches, cook agnolotti in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer agnolotti to shallow soup bowls. Spoon sage butter over and serve.
