Maultaschen are a classic Southwestern German filled pasta. Thinly rolled dough is filled with spinach, ground beef and herbs, then sealed into squares. The parcels are simmered, lightly sautéed in butter and served hot.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Knead the dough

30 min

Knead the flour, egg and salt into a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.

2

Prepare the filling

15 min

Thoroughly mix the chopped spinach, ground beef, onion and parsley with the salt and black pepper.

3

Fill the squares

25 min

Roll the dough out thinly and cut it into squares. Place some filling in the center of each square and press the edges together firmly to seal.

4

Simmer the pockets

12 min

Gently simmer the pockets in water for 10–12 minutes. Once they float to the surface, drain them and transfer to a serving platter.

5

Sauté in butter and serve

8 min

Lightly sauté the cooked pockets in butter, garnish with fried onions and serve hot.

Reminder

Important: Press the edges firmly to seal the squares, or the filling may leak out during cooking. Keep the water at a gentle simmer rather than a boil so the dough does not fall apart. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten), egg and dairy.
