- Ingredients:
-
For the Fresh Pasta Dough:
7 oz (200 grams) plain flour, (Italian type "00" is great, plus extra for dusting
2 eggs, lightly beaten
Salt
For the Filling:
11 oz (300 grams) porcini mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 9 oz (250 grams) ricotta cheese, crumbled
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 oz (50 grams) Parmigiano cheese, freshly grated, plus extra to serve
1 fresh flat-leaf parsley sprig, chopped
1 and 1/2 oz (40 grams) butter
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
9 fresh sage leaves
Salt and pepper
Directions:
Prepare the Fresh Pasta Dough:
Sift the flour and a pinch of salt into a mound on a work surface.
Make a well in the center and add the eggs.
Using your fingers, gradually mix the flour, then knead for about 10 minutes (If the mixture is too firm, add a little water; if it is a bit soft, add a little extra flour.
Shape the dough into a ball and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.
- Roll out the pasta dough on a lightly floured surface to make a thin sheet and cut out 2-inch (5-cm) squares.
Prepare the Filling:
Prepare the pasta dough and leave to rest covered with a damp tea towel for 30 minutes.
Heat the olive oil in a saucepan.
-
- Add the onion and porcini mushrooms and cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
Season with salt and cook for another 15 minutes.
Transfer the mixture to a food processor.
-
- Add the ricotta, Parmigiano cheese and parsley and process to a puree.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Put a little ricotta mixture into the center of each square.
Fold the squares corner to corner into triangles.
-
- Wrap each triangle around your index finger, press the points together and gently push the rest of the dough backwards to make the classic tortellini shape.
Melt the butter in a large frying pan.
-
- Add the sage leaves and cook for a few minutes.
Cook the tortelloni in a large pan of salted, boiling water until 'al dente'.
Drain, add to the frying pan and stir over a high heat.
Transfer to a warm serving dish, sprinkle with Parmigiano cheese and serve. Serves 4.
That's it!
