Cooking time: 4 minutes
Total time: 1 hour and 4 minutes
In a bowl, mix 100 g of flour and a pinch of salt, then make a well in the center.
Break an egg into the well and begin to gently mix the flour with a fork.
Knead the dough by hand for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Wrap the dough in cling film and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
Prepare the filling by blending ham, mortadella, and pork meat in a food processor until you achieve a grainy consistency.
Roll out the dough thinly on a floured surface and cut out circles with a diameter of 5 to 7 cm.
Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each circle, fold, and seal the edges well to form the tortellini.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and immerse the tortellini in it. Cook for about 4 minutes.
Carefully drain the tortellini and serve them hot with the sauce of your choice.
Preparing homemade tortellini is a simple and accessible process that can be accomplished in a few steps. With ingredients such as flour, eggs, and a filling of your choice, it’s easy to create fresh pasta at home. Whether you choose a filling of ham and Parmesan, or a version with cheese and spinach, there are many options to satisfy your cravings.
For cooking, simply plunge your tortellini into boiling salted water and cook for a few minutes. Each bite will be an explosion of flavors! For an even tastier touch, don’t forget to accompany your tortellini with a sauce of your choice, whether it’s tomato based or with olive oil. Enjoy your meal!
