Tortellini Filling

Broth

Method

Make the Tortellini Filling

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, combine the roasted pork shoulder, mortadella, toasted spices, ricotta cheese, salt, and fresh basil. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly combined.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Pasta Dough

    Roll out the pasta dough into thin sheets. Cut into squares or circles, depending on your desired tortellini shape.

  3. 3

    Fill the Tortellini

    Place a small amount of the filling in the center of each pasta square. Fold over to form a triangle, then bring the two corners together to create the tortellini shape. Ensure the edges are sealed tightly.

Make the Broth

  1. 4

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic, chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 5

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Add the Parmesan rind, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes.

Cook the Tortellini

  1. 6

    Cook the Tortellini

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Ladle the broth into bowls, add the cooked tortellini, and garnish with grated Parmigiano Reggiano and fresh basil leaves.
