Lamb tortelli with cream and mint by Luciano Monosilio


Put together the shoulder of lamb and the skill with the egg pasta – not only filled – by Luciano Monosilio and here is a fresh and delicious recipe. "If you don't try your hand at the pastry and the rolling pin now …" provokes the brilliant Roman chef

Luciano Monosilio, born in 1984, is very popular in the capital. Because beyond important experiences (with Pierangelini, Uliassi, Crippa …), he worked in important places such as Roscioli, Tordo Matto and above all Pipero al Rex (later become Pipero Roma). From September 2018 he started his own business, opening Luciano Italian Cuisine, a restaurant where one of the pillars is represented by pasta, both fresh and dry, which the chef of Abruzzo origin not only celebrates with its legendary Carbonara, but also with the other classic capitolini and with contemporary recipes. "Pasta means simplicity: the planetary mixer is a help, the machines to cut it too, but a rolling pin and a knife are enough to prepare it," he explains.

Mistakes to avoid

Let's start with flours? "For those of my restaurant, who want to make fresh, dry or egg pasta, I only use those of durum wheat flour. They can also be used at home, but it takes more time and more physical energy to mix, in the absence of a planetary mixer. Those are fine 00 of soft wheat. But I say that if you don't try now that we have a lot of time available … I recommend: do not forget to wet the flour with warm water in order to develop more the glutinic mesh . Mistakes to avoid? "Salt must be used at the beginning of the processing, dissolving it in the water so the annoying crystals do not form on the sheet. Then it is important the temperature of the dough: when after letting it rest, it must be taken out of the refrigerator, it must be cold because it allows easier processing . That said, have fun with a delicious Luciano recipe: Lamb tortelli with cream and mint. Practically Easter!
