To prepare this delicious recipe for pasta with telemea, the first essential step is to handle the dough. In a large bowl, we add high-quality wheat flour, and then we crack the eggs directly in the middle of the flour. We start kneading the mixture vigorously for about 6 minutes, until the dough becomes homogeneous and elastic, having a pleasant texture to the touch. It is important not to rush this process, as proper kneading will ensure a perfect consistency. After we finish kneading, we wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for an hour. This step allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out the dough later. Once the resting time is up, we prepare to roll out the dough. We sprinkle a clean surface with flour to prevent sticking. We take a portion of 1/4 of the dough and, using a rolling pin, roll it out until it becomes very thin, almost transparent. With a sharp knife or a pasta cutter, we cut the dough into squares of 7 cm by 7 cm. It is important that all squares are of uniform size to ensure even cooking of the pasta. Meanwhile, we prepare the filling. We cut the telemea into equal-sized cubes, making sure they are small enough to be easily wrapped in dough. Each square of dough will hold a cube of telemea, which we will then carefully wrap, forming a package similar to a candy. This technique will not only keep the filling inside but will also give an attractive appearance to the final dish. To cook the pasta, we fill a large pot with water and add a teaspoon of salt, then put it on the heat. Once the water starts to boil, we carefully add the filled pasta and let them boil for about 12 minutes. It is good to check them from time to time to ensure they do not stick together and cook evenly. In parallel, we take care of the sauce. In a heated pan, we add a tablespoon of oil and sauté the ground bell peppers along with the finely chopped onion for about a minute. These ingredients will add flavor to our dish. After the onion becomes glassy, we mix it with sour cream and add salt to taste, letting the sauce thicken slightly on the heat. Once the pasta is cooked, we remove them with a spatula and place them on a plate, covering them with the delicious sauce. We serve the pasta hot, garnished with slices of red onion, which add a crunchy and fresh note to the dish. This meal is not only satisfying but also full of flavor, perfect for a dinner with family or friends. Bon appétit!
