MISE EN PLACE 🔪
Directions
2 Hours Before Cooking
Lay the flour onto the countertop and form a well in the center.
- Add the eggs, egg yolks, and olive oil into the center of the well. Mix with a fork.
- Using your index finger, slowly incorporate the flour into the eggs, then form into a shaggy ball.
- Knead the dough for 5-6 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside to rest.
PREP 🥒
Let’s check out your pasta dough!
- Fill a large pot with water and cover it with a lid. Bring to a boil over medium-low heat.
- To make the mushroom brodo, peel and dice the shallot. Crush the garlic with the palm of your hand.
- Place the diced shallot, crushed garlic, thyme, dried mushrooms, and peppercorns in a 2 quart pot. Add the broth and water and bring to a simmer. Cook, adjusting the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, while preparing the rest of the dish.
Place the ricotta into the mixing bowl. Beat the two eggs in a small bowl and add ¾ of them to the bowl with the ricotta. Add a pinch of S&P Seasoning, grate in half of the Parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon of chopped Truffle Carpaccio. This is the ricotta farce.
- Roll the dough out into a very thin sheet with the rolling pin.
- Cut the pasta into small rounds and form the tortellinis, transfer to a dusted baking sheet.
HOW TO COOK 🍳
Adjust the seasoning of the brodo with S&P Seasoning. Strain into another pot or bowl and keep hot.
Lightly season the pot of boiling water with S&P Seasoning and cook the tortellini for 3 minutes.
- Remove the tortellini from the pot and plate them in your favorite serving bowl.
- Using a ladle, ladle some of the mushroom brodo on top of the tortellinis.
- Shave some Parmesan cheese over the tortellinis and top with Truffle Carpaccio.
Add one last sprinkle of S&P Seasoning and dig in!
