Pasta: put the three flours in a stand mixer with the dough hook. With the mixer running, add the yolks slowly, then the whole eggs one at a time. Mix until a firm dough forms. Wrap and rest 30-60 minutes.

Heat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Mix the meats, cheese, onion, cooked garlic, egg, panade, parsley and salt with your hands until just combined.

Roll into small balls, about 2.5 cm (1 in). Bake on an oiled tray for 12-15 minutes until browned.

Simmer the meatballs gently in the tomato sauce for 20-30 minutes.

Slice the dough, flatten, and pass it through a pasta machine, starting at the widest setting and working down to a thin sheet. Cut into tagliatelle and dust with semolina.
