Cheese Tortellini

Ingredients

Ground Black Pepper - to taste
Salt - to taste
Butter - 2 tablespoons
Marjoram - 1 bunch
Cheese Spread - 1.8 oz
Chocolate eggs - 5 pieces
Grated Pecorino Pepato Cheese - 1.8 oz

Wheat Flour - 14.1 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

First, prepare the filling. Place ricotta, Parmesan, and any easily melting cheese (like Fontina), grated on a fine grater, and 1 egg into a bowl. Mix well, season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

For the dough, mound the sifted flour on a work surface, add a pinch of salt and 4 eggs. Knead a firm, elastic dough (knead for at least 10 minutes). If the dough is too stiff, add a little olive oil. Wrap the dough in a clean towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Then, roll out the dough into a thin sheet and cut it into squares. Place the filling in the center, fold the square diagonally, pinch the edges, and connect the ends like regular dumplings.

Step 4

Drop the tortellini into a large pot of boiling salted water.

Step 5

While they are cooking, melt the butter in a saucepan and mix with half of the marjoram. Use a slotted spoon to remove the floating tortellini. Allow excess water to drain and place them on a plate. Drizzle the finished tortellini with marjoram butter, sprinkle with chopped marjoram, and serve hot.
