On Tortellini .....
Here's a special I made the other day at the restaurant:
Jersey ricotta and fresh herb tortellini with charred scallions and chantrelles.
Tortellini are ring shaped pasta from the Emilia region in Italy. The tortellini are typically stuffed with pork meat or cheese and served in broths.
I learned how to make tortellini when I was working in Miami at Prelude restaurant. I probably made a good 10,000 tortellini during my time there. We used to fill them with goat cheese and serve them with a roasted pepper sauce. The great thing about tortellini is that they stand up by themselves as an appetizer, and at the same time work well as a garnish accompanying a steak or fish. You can stuff them with anything you can think off.... the possibilities are endless.
Heres the recipe I use for the tortellini dough...it works well as a ravioli dough as well. It may seem as if the dough is a little dry after you mix the ingredients together but thats normal. Make sure to let the dough rest covered in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes prior to rolling it out.
