For the Basket

Put some grated parmesan on a baking paper then make a thin circular shape and put into the microwave for 40 to 50 seconds.
When the cheese starts to melt, remove the paper and take out the heated cheese, put it upside down on a glass and work with the finger to give it a “basket” shape.

How to Make the “Plin”:

Make a thin ⅔mm thick of pasta, with width around 5sm and as long as you want.
Then put a small amount of studding (the size of a hazelnut) with 3sm gap between one and the other.
Fold the pasta in two covering the stuffing with the tip of the finger pushing the pasta together.
Then first close the front side, followed by the other side.
After that cut the “plin” in the middle of the gap between the stuffing.

For Cooking

Boil the “plin” in salted water for around 6 minutes.
Drain and remove from water and mix well with the butter and sage sauce.
Remove the basket from the glass and fill it with the pasta.
