A rich pasta dish combining fresh egg pasta with a creamy ham and meat filling.

Cream and Ham Tortellini

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Flour
  • 3 Large Egg
  • 4 oz butter
  • 1 mortadella

for finishing

  • 1/2 tsp Nutmeg

filling

  • 1 cup Ground Pork
  • 1/4 cup Veal

for initial mix

  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

  1. 1

    {"text": "To prepare the Cream and Ham Tortellini, start with the fresh egg pasta: on a work surface, arrange 00 flour in a classic fountain shape. Pour the eggs into the center, gradually gathering the flour around them until absorbed. Knead until smooth and elastic, wrap in plastic and rest for 30 minutes."}

  2. 2

    {"text": "In the meantime, prepare the meat filling: cut veal and pork loin separately, then raw ham and mortadella.

These tortellini are a delightful fusion of Italian pasta techniques with a rich, creamy filling. The pasta is light yet sturdy, perfect for holding the flavorful mix of ground meat and finely chopped ingredients. While the traditional Italian version might use just veal, this recipe adds pork for extra depth. The creaminess from the ham and Parmesan pairs beautifully with the nutmeg finish, making each bite a true culinary experience.
