1
Prepare Tortellini
If using fresh tortellini, skip to cooking. If using dried tortellini, ensure to cook according to package instructions until al dente.

2
Make Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground veal, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
3
Fill Tortellini
Take a small piece of the tortellini dough, place a teaspoon of the filling in the center, fold over, and seal the edges tightly to form a tortellini shape. Repeat until all filling is used.

4
Make Brown Butter Sauce
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Add the sage leaves and cook for an additional minute.
5
Add Chicken Broth
Carefully pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Allow to cook for about 5-7 minutes to let flavors meld.

6
Cook Tortellini
In a large pot of boiling salted water, add the tortellini and cook until they float to the surface, about 3-5 minutes for fresh and 7-9 minutes for dried. Drain the tortellini.
7
Combine and Serve
In a large bowl, gently toss the cooked tortellini with the brown butter sauce. Serve immediately, garnished with extra grated Parmesan if desired.
