Instructions
- 1Prepare the dough as described in the Dough component and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- 2While the dough rests, prepare the filling according to the Filling component instructions.

- 4Place a heaping teaspoon of the potato‑pecorino filling in the center of each dough circle.

- 7Gently drop the formed culurgiones into the boiling water in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
- 8Cook for 4–5 minutes, or until the culurgiones rise to the surface and the dough is tender.
- 9Using a slotted spoon, remove the culurgiones and transfer them to a serving bowl.
- 10Drizzle the cooked culurgiones with the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil and toss gently to coat.
- 11Serve immediately, optionally garnished with a few extra chopped mint leaves for freshness.
