Tortellini Dough and Filling
Method
Preparation and Cooking
- 1
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the flour and a pinch of salt. Make a well in the center and crack in the eggs. Gradually mix the flour into the eggs until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Prepare the Filling

Shape the Tortellini
Roll out the dough on a floured surface until thin. Cut into squares (about 2 inches). Place a small spoonful of meat filling in the center of each square. Fold the square into a triangle and press the edges to seal. Then, bring the two corners of the triangle together to form a ring, pressing to seal.

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