Ingredients

Pasta:

  • 3 eggs
  • 250 - 300 gr all-purpose flour

Tortellini stuffing:

  • 500 gr pumpkin
  • 25 gr grated Parmesan cheese plus for sprinkling
  • 1 egg
  • 250 gr ricotta
  • 1/3 tsp nutmeg
  • 2 tsp marjoram
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Clean the pumpkins and boil them briefly in salted water. The pumpkin is to be slightly undercooked.
  • Drain the prepared pumpkins and leave them on a strainer to allow them to drain off and cool.
  • Then mix until smooth. Add the ricotta, Parmesan egg, nutmeg, and marjoram.
  • Next step knead the dough from flour and eggs for pasta. The original recipe stated 300 grams of flour, but the dough was too stiff for me. I think it is also addictive maca you have. I think it is also addictive maca you have.
  • So I suggest starting with 200 grams of flour and kneading another 50 to get a well-made pasta dough. If the dough will absorb the make, add another 50 gr.
  • Divide the dough into 3 portions and unpack and cut each part into rectangles. We put pieces of stuffing on each of them and formed tortellini.
  • We pour out a piece of flour so that the tortellini does not stick to the top.
  • Boil the prepared tortellini in salted water until it rises to the water's surface.
  • Drain off and serve with melted butter and sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese.
