Meat Tortellini Ingredients

Method

Meat Tortellini Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Make a well in the center and add the egg and olive oil. Gradually mix in the flour until a dough forms. Knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and pork sausage until browned. Drain excess fat. In a bowl, mix the cooked meat, ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, black pepper, and salt. Allow the filling to cool.

  3. 3

    Roll Out the Dough

    After resting, divide the dough into quarters. Roll each quarter out on a floured surface until very thin, about 1mm thick.

  4. 4

    Form the Tortellini

    Cut the rolled dough into squares (about 5x5 cm). Place a small teaspoon of filling in the center of each square. Fold the square diagonally to form a triangle, then bring the two corners together and pinch to seal.

  5. 5

    Cook the Tortellini

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini in batches and cook for about 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface and are cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.
