For the polenta cream:​
Bring the water to boil, and salt and gradually add the corn flour. Continue to stir until the dough thickens.​ Smooth the polenta with the help of a blender and keep warm.​

For the pasta and the filling:​
In a bowl, add the flour and the egg yolks and mix until well blended and smooth. Leave to rest for 20/30 minutes in the fridge.​
Cut the beef into large cubes. Peel and cut the onion into thin slices.​
Heat a saucepan with oil and brown the meat. Once this is well browned, add the onion and​ sautè with red wine. Let evaporate and continue cooking with the broth until the meat is well cooked and the liquid absorbed.​
Finely grind the meat, season with Parmigiano Reggiano and, if necessary, with salt and pepper.​ Roll out the dough and cut into 2 inches wide stripes. Arrange the filling on each stripe separating them​ ½ inch, fold and cut the pasta with a grooved wheel, giving them the shape of a small rectangle.​ Cook the pasta in boiling water for about 5 minutes, drain then stir with butter and some of the meat stock. ​
