Description
Everyone from time to time wants to try something new, since eating the same thing every day gets boring. That's why, for all lovers of Italian cuisine, I'm presenting this simple recipe for cheese tortellini. In my opinion, this dish is a great option for a hearty lunch or dinner. It will help diversify your menu and surely impress you with its delicious taste. Various fillings can be used for making these little Italian dumplings, but we'll make ours with three types of cheese (although ricotta is technically not a cheese, but a dairy product). Thanks to this interesting filling, tortellini turn out incredibly tender and exquisite, so with this cheese tortellini recipe, your regular family dinner will be no less delightful than a restaurant meal. 1) We'll start by preparing the filling: Grate Parmesan and hard cheese finely. Place them in a bowl, add ricotta and one egg, season with salt and pepper, and mix all ingredients well. 2) Now we'll move on to the dough. First, sift flour into a mound on a working surface. Make a small well in the center, break 4 eggs into it, and add a pinch of salt. Mix these ingredients to form a thick, elastic dough. If the dough is too stiff, add a small amount of olive oil to soften it. Wrap the finished dough in a towel and let it rest for about half an hour. 3) After the resting time, roll out the dough into a thin sheet, then cut it into small squares about 5 cm in size. Place a small amount of filling in the center of each square, fold it diagonally, seal the edges tightly, and then join the two ends of the resulting triangle together. 4) Now pour water into a pot, bring it to a boil, add salt, and drop in the tortellini. 5) While they are cooking, melt the butter and mix it with half a bunch of chopped marjoram. When the tortellini are ready, remove them from the pot with a slotted spoon, place them on a plate, drizzle with the butter mixture, and sprinkle with fresh marjoram. And that's it! As you can see, there's nothing complicated about this cheese tortellini recipe, so preparing this delicious dish won't be difficult at all.
