Make the pasta dough by mixing flour and eggs until smooth; let it rest for 30 minutes.

Prepare the filling by sautéing onion and garlic in olive oil until translucent.

Add ground beef and pork to the pan; cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Incorporate spinach, parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper into the meat mixture; mix well and cool.

Roll out the pasta dough thinly on a floured surface.

Cut the dough into squares or circles, about 3 inches in diameter.

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

Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape; seal the edges by pressing firmly.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add the tordelli and cook for 3-4 minutes until they float.

In a separate pan, heat butter and tomato sauce over medium heat until warmed through.

Add the cooked tordelli to the sauce; toss gently to coat.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil and parsley.
