How to Make TORTELLINI From Scratch

prosciutto

🥗Healthier: turkey ham

💰Cheaper: cooked bacon

Turkey ham reduces fat while still providing a savory flavor.

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: Grana Padano

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free alternative with a cheesy flavor.

ricotta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Cottage cheese offers lower fat while maintaining creaminess.

fresh pasta

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pasta

💰Cheaper: dried pasta

Whole wheat pasta adds fiber and nutrients.

Start by making the pasta dough using 1 kg of double 0 flour and eggs.

Knead the dough until smooth and elastic.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Prepare the filling by combining prosciutto, mortadella, and Parmesan cheese in a bowl.

Roll out the rested dough into thin sheets.

Cut the dough into circles, about 2-3 inches in diameter.

Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each piece of dough.

Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape.

Pinch the edges to seal the tortellini tightly.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Add the tortellini to the boiling water and cook until they float, about 3-4 minutes.

Drain the tortellini and serve.
