COOKING TOOLS
- Damp towel
- Drinking glass/ cookie cutter 2 -> 2 1/2" in diameter
- Baking sheet
- Freezer
- Large pot
- Strainer
- Slotted spoon
DIRECTIONS
- Combine all ingredients
- knead well for a couple of minutes. Split dough in half (cover unused half with a slightly damp towel) and roll on a floured surface, folding dough several times to help strengthen the gluten. Roll to about 1/16", adding additional flour as necessary.
- To assemble tortellini
- Using a drinking glass/cookie cutter etc. of about 2 to 2 1/2" in diameter, cut out tortellini skins. Place 1/2tsp of filling in the center. Fold tortellini in half, pressing the edges together (if they don't stick you can brush them with a bit of warm water). Wrap the tortellini around your finger so the corners overlap a bit and squeeze until they stick. Fold top edge backwards a bit. For illustrated instructions click here. Repeat with remaining dough. As I completed folding a batch I would place them on a floured baking sheet covered with a slightly dampened towel. When I finished them all I put them in the freezer for about 10-15min to toughen them up a bit.
- To cook
- Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a rolling boil. Drizzle some oil in the pot, then drop in the pasta (I did it in 2 batches). Stir them well to prevent sticking. Cover pot and bring back to a boil. Add 1/2 cup of cold water, stir. Cover again, keep checking them and when they start to float they should be done. Gently strain (I scooped them out with a slotted spoon and put in a strainer). Toss them with a bit of oil.
