Tortellini - Italian Main Course

Ingredients

  • 300 g All-purpose flour (approximately)
  • 3 piece Eggs (medium)
  • 100 g Ground pork
  • 100 g Prosciutto (in one slice, ground)
  • 100 g Mortadella (in one slice, ground)
  • 150 g Parmesan cheese (grated, extra-aged)
  • 1 piece Eggs
  • 67 to_taste Nutmeg (to taste)
  • 67 to_taste Salt (to taste)
  • 67 to_taste Black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling at least 12 hours in advance. Combine ground pork, prosciutto, and mortadella in a bowl. Add grated Parmesan, egg, and nutmeg. Mix until well combined, season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 12 hours.

  2. Make the pasta dough: Form a well with the flour on a work surface. Crack the eggs into the well and gradually incorporate the flour until a dough forms. Knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.

  3. Roll out the dough thinly using a pasta machine or rolling pin. Cut into small squares (approximately 3cm).

  4. Place a small amount of filling in the center of each square. Fold the square in half to form a triangle, then bring the two bottom corners together around your finger to form the tortellini shape. Press firmly to seal.

  5. Cook the tortellini in boiling broth for 2 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Alternatively, serve with a sauce of your choice.
