Instructions:

For the classic Carinthian pasta basic dough, mix all ingredients well and knead into a smooth, not too firm pasta dough. Wrap the dough in aluminum foil and let it rest for about 1 hour. Then roll it out with a rolling pin to the thickness of the back of a knife and cut it into square pieces large enough to place the desired filling, formed into small balls, on top of it and fold the dough over it like a pocket so that the filling is fully covered with it and there is also a border of about 1 cm wide left for the decoration.

This edge is first well pressed together and then with a pastry wheel to a preferably uniform crescent shape ausadelt. Depending on the skill, the edge is then “crimped” further with thumb and forefinger as decoratively and undulatingly as possible. In the meantime, bring plenty of salted water to the boil, in which the pasta is placed and left to simmer for about 10 minutes.

Afterwards, the Carinthian noodles are taken out of the water with a dumpling lifter, arranged on preheated plates and, depending on the type of filling, doused with melted butter or lard, sometimes also with rendered cubes of bacon, before serving.
