The story behind this recipe
One of the silver linings of quarantine is that we can finally cook dishes we never had time for before. For tortellini, you need patience, time... and a glass of white wine for inspiration.
I made the dough from flour, egg, and a bit of oil. You can choose the quantities yourself based on how many portions of tortellini you want to make. For pasta in general, I use 1 egg for every 100g of flour.
For the filling, I used turkey meat, which I boiled with vegetables (onion and carrot) and seasonings. It cooked for about 2 hours, as I had legs and wings.
When I saw the meat coming off the bones easily, I turned off the heat. Now, you need to remove all the bones and blend the meat with parsley, Parmesan, vegetables, and seasonings in a food processor. You should end up with a paste.
The easy part is over. Now comes the part that requires patience. Proceed as shown in the photos below. Good luck!
A way I love to eat these is by pan-searing the tortellini in butter with a little sage. But the variations are endless!
Inspiration will be provided by the wine.
PS. If you don't have turkey, you can use pork, beef, fish, or mushrooms.
