Classic Italian tortellini made by filling thin egg pasta dough with spinach and ricotta, then folding it into ring shapes. Served with a butter and sage sauce or simply with Parmesan, it makes an elegant, satisfying dish.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Knead and rest the dough

35 min

Knead the flour, eggs, olive oil, and salt until you have a smooth, elastic dough. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

2

Make the filling

8 min

Finely chop the squeezed-dry spinach and mix it with the lor cheese, Parmesan, nutmeg, and salt.

3

Shape the tortellini

20 min

Roll the dough out thinly and cut it into small squares. Place a little filling in the center of each square, fold it into a triangle, press the edges to seal, and join the two corners to form a ring.

4

Boil and serve

6 min

Gently boil the tortellini in salted water until they float and the pasta turns translucent, then lift them out with a slotted spoon. Heat the butter with the sage until it turns golden brown, drizzle it over the tortellini, and serve with Parmesan.

Reminder

Important: Seal the tortellini edges firmly and press out any air to keep them from opening during boiling. Contains gluten, dairy, and eggs. You can freeze the uncooked tortellini on a floured tray, then transfer them to the freezer for storage; cook them directly from frozen in boiling water.
