If you want a meal that feels fancy and indulgent, but that’s actually quite simple to make, then you should try puff pastry tortelli with braised . This dish combines tender, sweet leeks with crispy, buttery puff pastry, creating a flavor and texture combination that is truly memorable.

To start, you’ll need to make the filling for your tortelli. Here’s a recipe for a basic filling that you can riff off of as you see fit:

– 2 cups ricotta cheese
– 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
– 1 egg
– salt and pepper to taste
– Optional: chopped herbs (basil, thyme, parsley)

Mix the ricotta, parmesan, and egg together in a bowl, then season with salt and pepper. If you want to add some extra flavor, add in some chopped herbs to taste. Mix everything together until well combined, then set aside.

Next, you’ll need to braise your leeks. Here’s a simple recipe to use:

– 4-5 medium leeks, cleaned and sliced into thin rounds
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1/2 cup white wine
– salt and pepper to taste

Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s melted and hot, add in the leeks and toss them to coat in the butter. Cook the leeks, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown and soften, about 10-15 minutes. Once your leeks are tender and flavorful, pour in the white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook the leeks and wine for another 5-10 minutes, until the wine has reduced and the leeks are fully cooked. Season the leeks with salt and pepper to taste, then set aside.

Now it’s time to assemble your puff pastry tortelli. Here’s how to do it:

– 1 package puff pastry
– 1 egg, beaten
– Flour for dusting
– Filling and braised leeks

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface until it’s about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the pastry into 3-4 inch circles with a biscuit cutter or glass. Brush the edges of each circle with beaten egg, then place about a tablespoon of filling and a few tablespoons of braised leeks in the center of each circle. Fold the circle in half to create a semi-circle shape, then press the edges together firmly to seal. Place the tortelli on a parchment-lined baking sheet, then brush the tops with more beaten egg. Bake the tortelli for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Serve hot!

This puff pastry tortelli with braised leeks recipe is perfect for a dinner party or special occasion, but it’s easy enough to make on a weeknight too. Plus, you can customize the filling and seasoning to suit your tastes and preferences, making it a versatile and delicious addition to your recipe collection. Give it a try and see how addicting the combination of puff pastry and leeks can be!
