- Knead to form mixture into a ball. Rest for 15 minutes. Keep pasta covered until ready to use.
- Divide dough into 8 equal pieces.
- Roll the dough into 1mm thickness. Cut into square pieces.
- Fit in a cupcake tray coated with olive oil
To assemble:
- Place cheese filling first followed by tomato minced meat filling.
- Then, followed by cheese filling, tomato minced meat filling and cheese filling.
- Lastly, put as much mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese as you like. More the better.
- Bake at 200°C or 392°F for 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
