- 3) In a small bowl mix together the ricotta and parmigiano and set it aside.
-
- 4) Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces and using a pasta machine, pass each piece until you have a beautiful almost see through sheet of pasta (watch video for clear instructions).
-
- 5) Cut out your tortellini rounds, fill them then shape them (please watch the video to see how this is done because it’s difficult to explain without seeing it).
- 6) You can cook these right away or pop them in the fridge or freezer for a later use.
