It might seem intimidating at first, but with our step-by-step instructions, you’ll be amazed at how easy it is to create this culinary masterpiece.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup water (if needed)
  • 1 cup prosciutto, diced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Step 1: Making the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and crack the eggs into it. Gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add water a tablespoon at a time until it comes together.

Step 2: Kneading the Dough

Dust your work surface with flour and transfer the dough onto it. Start kneading the dough, pushing the heel of your hand into it and folding it back towards you. Continue kneading for about 8-10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 3: Resting the Dough

Shape the dough into a ball and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax and make the dough easier to roll out.

Step 4: Preparing the Filling

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and sauté for a minute until fragrant. Add the diced prosciutto and cook until it turns slightly crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5: Rolling Out the Dough

Divide the rested dough into smaller portions. Take one portion and cover the rest to prevent drying. Roll out the dough using a rolling pin or a pasta machine until it becomes thin enough to see your hand through it.

Step 6: Cutting and Stuffing the Tortellini

Using a round cookie cutter or a glass, cut out circles from the rolled out dough. Spoon a small amount of the prosciutto filling onto each circle of dough. Fold the circles over to create semi-circles and seal the edges by pressing firmly. Take one end of the semi-circle and bring it towards the other, creating a ring shape. Press the ends together firmly to seal.

Step 7: Boiling the Tortellini

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the tortellini into the boiling water and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they float to the surface. Remove them using a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate.

Step 8: Preparing the Cream Sauce

In a separate saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until it melts into the cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 9: Serving the Dish

Arrange the cooked tortellini on a serving dish and drizzle the creamy sauce over them. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for added flavor and garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Now you have a sensational homemade tortellini dish that will leave everyone asking for seconds. The combination of the creamy sauce, savory prosciutto, and delicate pasta is simply divine. Bon appétit!
