This exquisite pasta dish originates from the beautiful city of Bologna, Italy, and is famous for its irresistible flavor. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of making authentic Bolognese tortellini right in your own kitchen.

Gather the Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt, to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish

Prepare the Pasta Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and crack the eggs into it. Gradually mix the eggs into the flour, adding water as needed, until a firm and smooth dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, then cover it and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Make the Bolognese Filling

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and pork until browned. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant. Stir in the tomato paste, milk, and red wine. Season the mixture with nutmeg, black pepper, dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, and salt. Simmer the sauce for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Roll and Shape the Tortellini

Divide the pasta dough into small portions. Roll out each portion into thin sheets using a rolling pin or pasta machine. Cut the rolled-out dough into small, round shapes using a cookie cutter. Place a small amount of the Bolognese filling in the center of each dough round. Fold the round in half to form a crescent shape, then fold the two corners together, overlapping them slightly, to create the tortellini shape. Repeat this process with the remaining dough and filling.

Cook and Serve

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently drop the tortellini into the boiling water and cook for about 5 minutes or until they float to the surface. Drain the cooked tortellini. Serve them hot with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top. Buon appetito!

With this step-by-step guide, you can now create your own authentic Bolognese tortellini right in your kitchen. Your taste buds and guests will thank you for the delicious and impressive dish. Make sure to pair it with a glass of your favorite wine and enjoy the true flavors of Italy!
