Assembly and Cooking

Roll Out the Dough
After resting, divide the dough into four pieces. Roll out each piece on a floured surface until very thin (about 1/16-inch thick).
- 5
Cut and Fill the Tortellini
Using a round cutter (about 3 inches in diameter), cut out circles from the rolled dough. Place a small spoonful (about 1 tsp) of filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and press the edges to seal tightly. Then, bring the two ends of the half-moon together and pinch to form a tortellini shape.

Cook the Tortellini
Bring 4 liters of salted water to a boil in a large pot. Carefully add the tortellini to the boiling water. Cook for about 4-5 minutes or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.

Serve
Remove the tortellini with a slotted spoon, drizzle with olive oil, and serve immediately with your choice of sauce.
