Homemade Italian Tortellini
Tortellini is the most famous italian stuffed pasta and this is the classic recipe to do them at home. The ingredients are simple and genuine, the making of tortellini requires a little time and commitment but the taste worth the effort without doubt.
Fun fact: Legend claims that Tortellini was inspired by the goddess Venus' navel. One evening after a day of battle between Bologna and Modena, Venus, Bacchus and Mars found refreshment at the inn Corona in Castelfranco Emilia. The next morning Mars and Bacchus moved away from the inn leaving Venus dormant;
When she woke up, she called the other companions to hear where they were. the innkeeper came to see if he could help and saw the little-dressed goddess was so impressed by its splendid shapes that he returned to the kitchen and created a pasta inspired by Venus' navel…and so was born the Tortellini.

INGREDIENTS
For the filling
100 gr ( 3.53 ounce ) pork loin
100 gr ( 3.53 ounce ) mortadella
100 gr ( 3.53 ounce ) cured ham ( prosciutto dolce if possible )
150 gr ( 5.29 ounce ) grated parmigiano
10 gr ( 0.35 ounce ) butter
2 eggs
nutmeg
black pepper
salt
For the dough
320 gr ( 11.29 ounce ) all-purpose flour
80 gr ( 2.82 ounce ) semolina flour
4 eggs
25 gr ( 0.88 ounce ) extra virgin olive oil
salt
INSTRUCTION
in a pan put 10 gr butter and 100 gr pork loin diced
let the pork loin brown well and drain from the excess of butter
in a meat grinder put the pork loin, 100 gr mortadella and 100 gr cured ham ( prosciutto dolce if possible )
add to the mixture half nutmeg grated, 150 gr grated parmigiano, black pepper and 2 eggs
Mix well the mixture and add salt if needed ( you should taste the mixture because the flavor can vary depending on the type of cured ham and mortadella)
cover with a plastic wrap and let it rest for 2 hours
Now let's prepare the homemade pasta as usual so 1 egg every 100 gr flours. For the flours we will use all-purpose and semolina flour in a proportion 4 to 1 so for this filling about 320 gr all-purpose and 80 gr semolina flour
Put the flours on a pastry board making a hole in the center where you will put 4 whole eggs and 25 gr extra virgin olive oil.
With a fork amalgamate the eggs and let the flour be incorporated, salt the dough and continue this operation until it will be possible to work it by hand.
work the dough until it is smooth and even. Leave it to rest in a film in the fridge for 30 minutes at least.
work the dough with a rolling pin and divide in several part
now with the help of a pasta machine begin to lower the thickness of the dough
the dough will be ready when it is less of one millimetre thick. I usually use the lower setting of thickness
now cut the pasta dough to obtain squares 4 cm long, i use a pasta cutter to obtain several squares at the time and speed up the process
Take a pasta square and put a little of filling in the middle then fold the square into a triangle. -.--. -- Finally, roll up the triangle and join the angles creating the typical shape of the tortellini like you can see in the video
if the pasta dries too much you can moisten the edges of the dough square with a finger wetted in a little water. this will help to seal the tortellini.
Put the tortellini on a tray lined with parchment paper. If you want you can also frozen tortellini, to do so put the tray in freezer a few hours, in this way they will remain intact and will not stick during freezing, when the tortellini are well frozen you can transfer them in bags to save space in the freezer
Cook tortellini into boiling beef and poultry stock. If frozen, do not unfreeze.
You can also prepare tortellini without broth. Cook them in abundant salted water, when they are ready ( 4/5 minutes usually) drain them and season with a heavy cream sauce with ham and peas. If you want more precise instruction for this kind of seasoning ask in the comment section
