Schabziger Pasta (page 2 of 2)Home >> Recipes
Page: 1 2 Previous Page
Let's make the stuffing, based on séré (German : quark) a lean fresh cheese made from whey, a Swiss cousin of ricotta. We need the cheese to be as dry as possible so as not to rip through the ravioli dough.
Place the cheese in a clean cotton cloth or a cheesecloth if you have it. Let it drip overnight.
Mix séré, quark or ricotta with the flour and egg.
Season generously with white pepper and salt.
Prepare your workspace, with the pasta machine or rolling pin, ample flour, rolling cutters (how about my fancy double cutter?), filling and a clean cloth or pasta drying rack.
Start laminating prune-sized pieces of your dough through the pasta machine, folding it in half between each pass. Stop when the dough has gone through the next-to-last setting on the machine and is smooth as silk.
Decide the size you want fo yur raviolis before you start. Place little balls of stuffing at equal interval, not forgetting that you'll need another pasta sheet the same size or to fold in half the one you use.
Seal and cut using the rolling cutter. Do not worry if a little dough oozes out as you roll...
...nor if you can't roll straight. Irregular raviolis denote homemade pasta and most guests will forgive you. Tell them 'That's the way it's done in the Alps' if anybody complains.
If the dough is too sticky, cover with flour before cutting.
Try to obtain raviolis of the same size.
Flour generously and leave them on a rack or floured cloth so they don't stick.
Boil for a minute or so in your largest pot filled with salted water brought to a rolling boil.
How about that? A delicious, intensly green ravioli with a delicate but very present Schabziger pungency ...
... and filled with a light cheese filling. Diet, FXcuisine-style!
If you feel that this is too much for you, just omit the ravioli and stuffing stage and cut your pasta in your favorite shape, and serve with butter ...
... or grated Sbrinz. A really unique pasta! Original recipe from:

Schabziger sounds like a cheese I'd definitely like to try. I have just one thing I want to ask: is blue fenugreek anything like the the regular fenugreek? By the way you described it, I got the impression that it's way more sharp and pungent. They're in the same genus, though, so it can't be too different, can it?On a side note, in response to Walter Aprile, I'm really hoping you're not talking about the horror that is casu marzu.

I would really, really love to see your take on an Italian Timpano. The pictures alone would be fantastic. Just saw the movie "Big NIght" and was suprised you had not done one yet. I dearly want to make one but I'd prefer you tackle it first and show us the way.Love your site. It is the best cooking blog ever.

How cute are those ravioli?"that's the way they do it in the Alps" hah-ha!
My brain is wondering how those would taste deep-fried - heehee, I've been hanging around here too much!

Cheese that'll make you faint- sounds intriguing. Hard to imagine its reputation given how innocent your ravioli pillows look.- #14

Erm, thanks for copying and pasting what I've written, Weight Watchers Recipes. I can't help but get the sneaking suspicion that you're a stealthy spammer.- #16

Definitely a spammer. As if there was a place on FX Cuisine for Weightwatchers recipes! This place is cheese and cream central... not that I'm complaining FX!- #17

Dana, the recipe is 1000 year old, but I'd sure be interested to see the medical properties of an actual 1000-year-old Schabziger. Might wake up the dead!- #18

George, you need to add one stick or 3 oz or 100gr schabziger.- #19

Paulina, thanks for visiting and good luck if you try this! Perhaps you can find a Brazilian cheese to replace the Schabziger.- #22

Ahmad, don't worry about the Kenwood Major, if you complete your studies one day you'll be able to afford one, and it'll be better and cheaper in a couple years.- #23

Luke, I believe both fenugreek look relatively similar but the Blue Fenugreek has a much sharper taste.- #24

Susie, I have a pigeon macaroni pie in short dough on my blog, a rather impressive dish. But I'm planning another macaroni pie baked in old copper molds - just bear with me.- #25

Eric, if you mean the little wheels to cut sheets of dough, you should look at Mora in Paris, they have a website and ship worldwide, so does toutpourlechef.com . The Italian websites really harder to order from. Let me know if it helps!- #31

I was so excited to see how you used the Sapsago in this recipe. The cheese is very hard to come by where I live and my mother used to make these little ham sandwiches with mustard, poppy seeds, and sapsago. Warm from the oven they are amazingly delicious. I tried at one point to research some of their recipes online, but I could not come up with anything in English. Next time I find some I'll be sure to try this one out. Love your blog! I think it is amazing some of the places you go! I admit to being jealous. Thanks again!- #32

Sucreblog, thanks for visiting! Would you have a recipe for your mother's sapsago sandwiches?- #33

Dear FX: I bought Schabziger in Paris today. It came in a dark green package which is identified on Geska's site as the "Netherlands" "version".My previous tasting of this cheese date back to some years ago: my father would grate a little of it, mix it with a little grated young gralic and spread this on small toasts.
I was surprised and disappointed today to find a softer and much less pungent cheese than I remembered. I was also surprised to find an expiration date only two months ahead.
The Schabziger I recall wa a smaller foil or paper wrapped cone of truly hard and strong stuff...
Has it changed indeed or am I suffering from an ailing memory?
Kind regards

Constantin, nowadays the only Schabziger I´ve ever seen comes in those little plastic jards. I believe it will take some additional taste a couple days after you open it. I hope to visit a traditional Schabziger maker someday and will report back. Otherwise try the bottarga on toast, that rocks!- #35

Well congrats on your photography and writing, I am salivating almost out of control. Looks wonderful, I wish we had cheese like that here.I think I might have to add that to things to do/get on my next trip to Europe.
