Pollock

Chef López : I chose this recipe because it’s easy to make and it needs ingredients that we all have at home. Usually we prepare this dish without gluten, but all-purpose “00” flour can also be used. It is a fun recipe because you can vary the filling each time you make it using ingredients that you have in the fridge, such as vegetables or meat, and the color of each sauce can be changed according to the vegetables or herbs used. Even more colors can be added! In the initial stages of creating this dish, it looked like an artwork by Pollock, so we decided to call it exactly that.

Mix the flour with the egg and leave to rest in cling film for 30 minutes. Spread to 1 millimeter thick and cut the dough to the desired size, cook the discs in salted water for 2 minutes.

PLATING

Put a disc of pasta on a preferably deep plate, add the filling and cover with a second disk of pasta. Finally, cover the pasta disc with all the lukewarm sauces in an artistic way, Jackson Pollock style.

Friendly note – If chard is not available, the Chef suggests to change it to seasonal vegetables instead.
