Masa Pasta

Blue masa pasta dough
LA-based husband-and-wife team Danielle Duran Zecca and Alessandro Zecca married their Mexican and Italian culinary backgrounds in their Mexitalian popup-turned-brick-and-mortar called Amiga Amore. "Amiga Amore is the friendship that turned into love not only between me and my husband but between our two cultures," Danielle says. We are in awe of the mashups they make with masa, particularly pasta dishes like menudo cappelletti (a blue masa-based dough filled with beef and tripe) and tortellini in a birria brodo. Chef Danielle kindly shared her recipe for masa pasta dough, which can be adapted to whatever shape and filling you choose.
