Recipe Card
ingredients
- 1 cup butter peas
- 3/4 cup whole milk ricotta
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 6 slices of mortadellla
- 3 slices of ham
- 1 egg
- salt and pepper
- 28 ounces wonton wrappers
- 8 cups chicken broth
Method
Step 1
In a large food processor, add peas, ricotta, parmesan cheese, mortadella, ham, egg, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Blend well until nicely mixed, almost to paste-like consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Step 2
Trim the wonton wrapper down to 2-inch square on a clean and dry surface. Save the scraps for later use
Step 3
Get a small dish of water at room temperature.
Step 4
Place the trimmed wonton on the clean surface and add 1/2 teaspoon of tortellini filling in the middle of it.
Step 5
With your finger, dab water all along the sides. Fold diagonally over the dough, ensuring the filling is in the middle, and seal. Slightly roll the long part over. (1/8 turn)
Step 6
Dab some water on the outer lower corners, wrap around your finger, and seal the two lower extremities. Will look like a ring with a small filling in the middle.
Step 7
Repeat until all the filling is done.
Step 8
Meanwhile, bring the chicken broth to a gentle boil in a larger wide moth pot. Add the tortellini. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the tortellini are coming to the surface.
Step 9
Serve hot in shallow bowls, and grate fresh parmesan cheese over it.
