A small pinch around the filling
A row of tiny parcels takes shape with the pinch that gives plin its name.
Small portions of filling sit close together on a thin sheet of egg pasta. The dough folds over them, then a pinch separates each parcel before the pastry wheel cuts it free.
Regione Piemonte’s version combines pork, veal and rabbit with escarole and Parmigiano Reggiano. It offers two ways to enjoy the filling: on a hemp napkin without sauce, or with strained roast juices.
