Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.

Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the maitake mushrooms and continue to sauté until they are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

Boil the Tortelli
In a large pot of salted boiling water, gently drop in the tortelli. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface and are tender. Use a slotted spoon to remove the tortelli and drain excess water.
