Ingredients: 4 cups All-purpose flour; 4 large Eggs; 8 oz Cream cheese; 1 cup Pecorino Romano cheese, grated; 2 cups Fresh spinach, chopped; 1 tsp Salt; to taste Black pepper

homemade pasta, filled with cream cheese, pecorino romano and spinach. Served with Besciamella and meat sauces.

In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the eggs. Gradually mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Make the Pasta Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, grated Pecorino Romano, chopped spinach, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Prepare the Filling

After resting, divide the dough into four pieces. Roll out each piece into thin sheets using a pasta machine or rolling pin, about 1/16 inch thick.

Roll Out the Dough

Cut the pasta sheets into squares (about 3 inches). Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each square. Fold the square into a triangle, pressing the edges to seal. Bring the two corners of the triangle together and pinch to form a tortellacci.

Shape the Tortellacci

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently add the tortellacci and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the top. Remove and drain.

Cook the Tortellacci

Prepare a besciamella (white sauce) and your choice of meat sauce (using meatballs or Italian sausage).

Prepare the Sauces

Layer the tortellacci with besciamella and meat sauce in a serving dish. Top with additional grated Pecorino Romano if desired.
