Ingredients
Pasta Dough
Filling
Pomodoro Sauce
Pasta Dough
1. Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and crack the eggs into this well. Gradually mix the flour into the eggs using a fork until a rough dough begins to form.
2. Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
Filling
3. Prepare the Filling
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped basil, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Pomodoro Sauce
4. Cook the Sauce
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the canned San Marzano tomatoes, season with salt and black pepper, and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Finish the Sauce
Once the sauce thickens, add the fresh basil leaves and stir to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
Assembly
6. Roll Out the Dough
After the dough has rested, divide it into four pieces. Roll each piece out thinly on a floured surface, about 1/16 inch thick.
7. Cut and Fill the Tortellaci
Cut the rolled dough into squares of about 3 inches. Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each square. Fold the square over to form a triangle, pressing to seal. Bring the two corners of the triangle together to form a tortellaci shape, pressing to seal again.
8. Cook the Tortellaci
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently add the tortellaci and cook for 3-4 minutes until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon.
9. Serve
Plate the tortellaci and generously spoon the Pomodoro sauce over them. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh basil if desired.
