 In a 12 to 14-inch saute pan, heat olive oil until smoking. Add onions and
 potatoes and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 8 to 10
 minutes. Add vinegar and sugar and bring to boil. Heat and reduce until
 almost dry, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool and stir in mint leaves.
 
 Roll out pasta to thinnest setting on pasta roller. Cut dough into 3-inch
 disks and place 1 tablespoon onion mixture in center of half the disks. Use
 the other half to cover and pinch sides together. Continue until all
 filling is used up.
 
 Bring 6 quarts water to boil and add 2 tablespoons salt. Add culingionis
 and cook until tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Meanwhile, melt butter in a 12
 to 14-inch saute pan. Drain pasta carefully and place in pan with butter.
 Add mint leaves and half the cheese and toss. Serve immediately.
