Knead a firm dough with the semolina flour, flour, egg, water, and half of the salt.
Cover the dough and rest it for 30 minutes.
Boil the potatoes for 22 minutes, mash them, and let them cool until warm.
Mix the grated cheese, crushed garlic, mint, and olive oil into the mashed potatoes.
Roll the dough thinly, cut rounds, divide the filling among them, and close the edges.
Cook the tomato puree with salt over low heat for 8 minutes.
Boil the culurgiones in water for 5 minutes.
Transfer the pasta to the tomato sauce, turn for 1 minute, and serve.
💡 Tip: Do not put the potato filling into the dough while it is still hot; hot filling softens the dough and opens the seams.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve culurgiones with tomato sauce and grated cheese, with optional green salad on the side.
